Ghanaian Nurses' Strike: Health Minister's Plea Falls Short

Ghanaian Nurses and Midwives Continue Strike Despite Health Minister's Plea Ghana is facing an ongoing strike by nurses and midwives, impacting healthcare services across the country. The Health Minister, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, recently addressed the situation, expressing regret and explaining that the nurses' demands for improved conditions were not included in the 2025 budget. He stated, "Government remains committed to the needed engagement that will lead to the approval and implementation of the new conditions of service for nurses and midwives." However, the strike continues, highlighting the ongoing tension between the government and healthcare workers. The government has organized meetings with various stakeholders, including the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, to find a resolution. Despite these efforts, the strike persists, underscoring the urgency of the situation and the need for a swift resolution to prevent further disruption of vital healthcare services. The ongoing dialogue and commitment from the government offer a glimmer of hope for a positive outcome.
