The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), Jefferson Asare, has described the government's failure to include their demands in the 2025 national budget as a "big insult" to nurses and midwives across the country.
Speaking on Channel One TV's The Big Issue on Saturday, June 14, he recounted the Association's efforts to engage the Ministry of Health on their conditions of service before the nationwide strike.
According to him, the continuous assurances given by the Ministry that the matter would be addressed in the national budget were later betrayed, triggering the strike. "We wrote to the Minister when he was appointed.
The Minister said, 'Wait, let me look at the document,' and this is not a difficult thing to do.
