The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has issued a stern warning to the government, stating it may resume its suspended strike if commitments to improve nurses' conditions of service are not met.
Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday, June 14, GRNMA First Vice President Samuel Alagkora Akolgo emphasised that the association would not hesitate to take industrial action again if the government fails to fulfill its promises.
The GRNMA suspended its nationwide strike, which began on June 2, on Friday, June 13, after productive talks with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health and government representatives.
Despite the suspension, concerns linger as the government has indicated that the GH¢2 billion needed to address the nurses' demands is not included in the current budget and may only be available in 2026.
