The leadership of four major professional associations representing nurses and midwives in Ghana has described recent developments in negotiations over conditions of service as "meaningful progress," calling it a significant step forward achieved through constructive dialogue with government stakeholders.
They have consequently called on striking members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) to return to work in the interest of national healthcare delivery.
In a joint statement released on June 12, 2025, the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), the Professional Association of Psychiatric Nurses, Ghana (PAPNG), the Ghana Registered Midwives Association (GRMA), and the National Association of Registered Midwives, Ghana (NARM-G), emphasized that their success was made possible by choosing dialogue over confrontation. "These gains are the result of our unions' unwavering commitment to dialogue, collaboration, and professionalism," the statement noted. "Throughout this period, we have chosen to engage constructively with the government and stakeholders while ensuring continuity of care for the public. "Our approach has reaffirmed our conviction that sustainable outcomes are best achieved through negotiation, rather than confrontation." The leadership extended heartfelt gratitude to members who remained at post during the period, acknowledging their dedication, courage, and the credibility they brought to the unions' cause. "Your dedication has brought credibility to our cause and played a critical role in securing these achievements," the unions stated.
Calling for unity within the profession, the statement urged the GRNMA to ask all its striking members to return to work. "In light of the progress made, and in the interest of national healthcare delivery, we respectfully call on the leadership of the GRNMA to call all striking staff to return to work. "This is the time to unite our efforts, protect the integrity of our profession, and demonstrate to the nation that nurses and midwives stand for both advocacy and responsibility."
