The High Court in Accra has intervened in the ongoing standoff between the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) and the government by placing an injunction on the nationwide strike that has disrupted healthcare delivery across the country.
Justice Priscilla Dikro Ofori, who presided over the matter, described the strike as illegal and ordered the association to immediately call off the action.
The injunction, which will be in effect for ten days, was granted following an ex-parte motion filed by the National Labour Commission.
During this period, the NLC has the option to return to court to seek an extension-this time, however, only through a formal notice to the GRNMA.
