A member of the (NPP) communications team, Ellen Ama Daaku, has criticised Minister of Health, , over his comments during the recent strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
During the strike which saw nurses and midwives nationwide withdrawing their services over poor conditions of service, Akandoh suggested that retired nurses should step in to help save lives.
This comment sparked outrage, with Ama Daaku describing it as "insulting to the entire nursing fraternity." According to her, the minister should have proposed more constructive solutions rather than making what she considers an irresponsible and demeaning statement.
Speaking in an interview on Movement TV on June 13, 2025, Ama Daaku accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of appointing unqualified individuals to sensitive positions, particularly in the health sector.
