The General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, David Tenkorang, has criticised the government for what he asserts is its seeming inaction in resolving the nurses' strike over conditions of service.
Reacting to the government's press briefing on the strike, Tenkorang stated that the solution to the current issues does not lie in press conferences, as the government is doing, adding that it would not yield the desired results. "I'm beginning to see a certain pressure that seeks to create the enabling environment that can foster any meaningful discussion.
But let me quickly state that the solution in this impasse doesn't lie in press conferences," he criticised while speaking on JoyNews on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
Addressing the government's claim and concern that fully implementing the nurses' new conditions of service could disrupt the national budget, Tenkorang expressed a different opinion, stating that their demands are not excessive enough to negatively impact the economy, as the ministry suggests. "I think that our key demands are not above the roof but is something that can be contained.
