Ghana Nurses Withdraw Emergency Services Amid Nationwide Strike

Ghana Nurses Stage Nationwide Strike, Withdrawing Emergency Services Ghana's healthcare system is facing major disruptions due to a nationwide strike by nurses and midwives. The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has announced its members will withdraw all emergency services, escalating their ongoing industrial action. This decision follows months of stalled negotiations over improved working conditions and pay. The strike has resulted in empty waiting rooms in hospitals across the country. Images circulating on social media show stark images of deserted hospital wards and clinics. The GRNMA's National President, Philimon Gyapong, stated, "This is not a decision we've taken lightly. We are forced to take this action due to the government's failure to address our concerns." The government has yet to respond to the GRNMA's demands, leaving the future of the strike uncertain and raising serious concerns about the potential impact on public health. The situation is rapidly evolving and further updates are expected in the coming days.
