The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has once again called on the government to urgently meet its demands, insisting that this is the only way to bring striking nurses and midwives back to hospitals across the country.
This stance comes despite a court-issued interlocutory injunction aimed at compelling members of the association to resume work. However, the GRNMA remains resolute, stating that the government’s delay tactics are not only unproductive but also detrimental to public health.
Speaking on behalf of the association, Deputy Public Relations Officer Philemon Gyapong emphasized that the health and well-being of patients — particularly vulnerable groups — are at stake.
“Do the needful. For the sake of the pregnant women and the babies, and for those who cannot [speak for themselves],” Mr. Gyapong pleaded, underscoring the urgency of the matter.
According to him, the association’s members will not return to work unless the government addresses their outstanding concerns, including conditions of service and delayed payments.
“They will not go back,” he added firmly, reiterating the association’s collective resolve.
The strike has already led to the temporary closure of several public health facilities across the country.
