Legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw, has called on the government to urgently address the concerns of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), asserting that both patients and healthcare workers are suffering as a result of the ongoing industrial action.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb on June 11, 2025, Ampaw acknowledged that industrial action by essential service providers, including nurses, beyond three days, is in breach of the Labour Act, but was quick to add that the nurses are forced to take the stance due to harsh working conditions.
Responding to calls for an activation of legal measures against the GRNMA over the prolonged strike, he recommended dialogue as a more tenable solution to the matter. "People are dying, yes, but the nurses are also dying economically.
They are not happy.
