Ghanaian Nurses' Union Outraged by Delayed Service Condition Implementation

Ghanaian Nurses Express Outrage Over Delayed Service Condition Improvements Ghanaian nurses are expressing deep frustration over the government's delay in implementing improved conditions of service. Joseph Krampah, Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), voiced the union's concerns in a recent live radio interview on Asempanaye 94.7 FM. The government's proposal has been postponed until next year's budget, a decision Krampah strongly criticized. "We cannot wait for the government's proposal to implement our conditions of service until next year's budget," Krampah stated, adding that the union would have considered even a mid-year budget review. This delay is causing significant hardship among nurses, who have long advocated for better pay and working conditions to reflect their crucial role in the nation's healthcare system. The GRNMA is now exploring all available options to ensure their demands are met promptly, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and improved working conditions for the well-being of both nurses and the healthcare system as a whole.
