The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has cautioned government, noting it would go on a nationwide strike if plans to dismiss over 5,000 newly recruited nurses and midwives are not ceased.
Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, President of GRNMA, made this known to 3news' Labour Affairs Correspondent, Daniel Opoku, on February 14 in Accra.
Madam Ampofo said government's directive was a direct attack on healthcare delivery, asserting GRNMA members would not look on unconcerned as their colleagues were mistreated.
The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, recently instructed state institutions to revoke the appointments of employees recruited after the December 7, 2024, elections if their names were not on the Controller and Accountant-General's payroll as of January 2025.
