Ghanaian Nurses' Strike Intensifies: Lawsuits Filed Against Government

Ghanaian Nurses Continue Strike, Taking Legal Action Against Government Ghanaian nurses and midwives are continuing their strike action, escalating their protest by taking legal action against the government. The Ghanaian Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) alleges that the government provided inaccurate information regarding a previously agreed-upon settlement. A representative stated, "We were given inaccurate information...we wrote another letter, official letter in April 2025." The GRNMA has filed lawsuits against multiple government ministries, including the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance, highlighting the depth of their frustration. The nurses' concerns center on unmet agreement points regarding fair wages and working conditions. The strike has caused significant disruption to healthcare services across the country. The GRNMA is determined to pursue all available legal avenues to ensure their collective bargaining agreement is implemented and fair treatment is received. The ongoing legal battle underscores the seriousness of the situation and the nurses' commitment to achieving their demands.
