The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has served notice of a nationwide strike if government carries out its decision to sack nurses and midwives recruited into the public service after the December 7 elections.
According to the leadership of the GRNMA, the directive will affect over 5,000 nurses and midwives in the public service and that will have a toll on healthcare delivery.
President of the Association, Perpetual Ofori Ampofo who spoke exclusively with 3news' labour affairs correspondent, Daniel Opoku, in Accra on February 14, said the dismissal should be halted immediately.
Mrs Ampofo warned that, "any dismissal of those nurses and midwives will lead to a nationwide strike." "There is a lot of tension in our fraternity, and you should be on our platforms, and we are saying that if they go ahead and suspend we will have no choice than to stand in solidarity with our colleagues.
