The Minister of Health, , has appealed to members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) to return to work and resume duty, emphasising the urgent need to prioritise the health and lives of patients amid an ongoing nationwide strike.
During a monitoring tour of key health facilities, including the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, LEKMA Hospital, and the Greater Accra Regional (Ridge) Hospital on June 5, 2025, the minister noted that the strike had significantly affected healthcare delivery.
Although some health professionals remained at post, the absence of many nurses and midwives had disrupted services at major government hospitals. "As the minister responsible for health, I decided to visit some of these health institutions to have firsthand information about what is going on.
Let me put on record that I am the first person to pursue any reasonable and legitimate concern from any health worker, and I will do just that," he stated.
