The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has suspended its nationwide strike following what it described as a fruitful engagement with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health.
In a statement issued on Friday, June 13, the Association announced that discussions held on Thursday, June 12, 2025, with the Committee and other stakeholders paved the way for an amicable resolution of the impasse concerning the implementation of their Collective Agreement.
The GRNMA said the suspension of the strike is in anticipation of further progress at a follow-up meeting scheduled for June 26, 2025. "We call on our dear nurses and midwives to resume their normal shift duties from Saturday, June 14, 2025, and assure you that we will not rest until the Collective Agreement is fully implemented," the statement read.
The Association expressed appreciation to the Health Committee for its swift intervention and commended its members for their solidarity during the strike. "We are thankful to the Chairman, Ranking Member, and other members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health for their timely intervention to set a clear framework for the implementation of our Collective Agreement. "We are equally grateful to the nursing and midwifery fraternity for the deep sense of solidarity in adhering to the roadmap," the statement added.
