The General Secretary of the Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana, Richard Kofi Jordan, has revealed that mortuaries across the country are now receiving an increased number of bodies due to the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, Richard Kofi Jordan said that if the strike continues, they may be forced to direct families to send bodies to police stations, as mortuary facilities may soon reach full capacity. "There's a surge in the number of deaths recorded in the wake of the ongoing strike, especially after the nurses embarked on a total withdrawal of their services on Monday.
People are dying more across the country.
Wherever there are mortuaries, we are recording high numbers of deaths.
