Ghanaian Nurses Strike: Hospitals Empty, Negotiations Ongoing

Ghanaian Nurses' Strike: Healthcare Services Disrupted as Negotiations Continue The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) is currently engaged in a strike, causing significant disruptions to healthcare services across the country. Joseph Krampah, the GRNMA's Public Relations Officer, spoke with ASEMPA FM about the strike's impact and the ongoing negotiations. "We thank the minister for bringing retired nurses who are weak in their legs and can barely bend down, only to take over our positions," Krampah stated, highlighting the union's concerns about the government's response to their demands. The strike has resulted in shortages of nurses in many hospitals, leading to delays in patient care. The video shows images of a nearly empty hospital hallway, illustrating the impact of the walkout. The GRNMA is seeking improved working conditions and better pay for its members. Negotiations between the GRNMA and the government are ongoing, and a resolution is expected soon. The situation underscores the importance of addressing the concerns of healthcare workers to ensure the provision of quality care to all citizens.
