The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has issued a passionate plea to members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives' Association (GRNMA) to consider the well-being of patients and return to the negotiation table, following an industrial action that has left many health facilities across the country understaffed.
The ongoing strike by nurses and midwives in public hospitals across Ghana continues to severely impact healthcare delivery, leaving patients stranded and medical services disrupted.
In many health facilities, nurses have abandoned posts, leaving patients stranded.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse show on Thursday, the Minister emphasised the government's commitment to resolving the impasse, calling for unity and dialogue during what he described as a critical period for the nation's healthcare system. "I believe that in all these matters, my brothers and sisters should put the Ghanaian patient into consideration," Mr Akandoh stated. "We are not tired; we are operating an open-door policy, and I am ready to engage anybody at any given time.
