The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has officially suspended its nationwide strike, which began on June 4, 2025, over the government’s failure to implement revised conditions of service.
The GRNMA President, Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, announced the suspension during a brief presser on Friday, June 13, 2025.
Mrs Ofori-Ampofo emphasized the need for the government to show greater respect for the nursing profession and urgently address the welfare needs of its members.
The strike, which affected public healthcare facilities across the country, resulted in widespread disruptions to health services. Many hospitals reported reduced staffing levels, longer waiting times, and delays in accessing critical care services. Emergency wards and maternity units were among the hardest hit.
The suspension follows renewed commitments by the government to revisit the proposed timeline for implementation and improve ongoing dialogue.
The GRNMA President, directing members to resume work on Saturday, June 14, however noted that the Association will continue to monitor developments closely, stating a meeting has been scheduled for June 26.
