The Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association of Ghana has declared a nationwide strike starting June 2, 2025, citing the government’s persistent failure to pay 12 months of accumulated allowances.
Despite giving authorities a 14-working-day ultimatum to respond, the Association says their concerns have been ignored. “The minister has not communicated officially to us, which is very sad.
This is because they see us now as insignificant in the health sector, in the ministry, as well as to the public,” said Ebenezer Boateng, President of the Association, in an interview with Citi News.
Boateng confirmed that unless immediate steps are taken, the strike will proceed as planned. “On June 2, we are going on a nationwide strike. We do not want to hear any story from them.
This has been a consistent problem for about 5 years now. All they give is an assurance, we don’t need that now,” he emphasized.
The Association insists the decision to withdraw their services is a last resort after exhausting all diplomatic avenues to secure their dues.
