Healthcare delivery at public hospitals in the country continues to suffer as the nationwide strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) enters its second week, leaving patients stranded and critical services disrupted.
A visit by a GhanaWeb reporter to the LEKMA Hospital and the Maamobi General Hospital on Tuesday, June 11, 2025, in Accra revealed the extent of the impact.
Only a skeletal staff remained at post, to attend to emergency cases and pregnant women reporting for antenatal care.
The typically busy wards at the health facilities appeared abandoned, with nurses' stations empty and corridors unusually quiet.
