Ghana Nurses' Strike: Health Minister's Plea for Dialogue Amidst Healthcare Crisis

Ghana Nurses' Strike: Health Minister Pleads for Dialogue The ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) continues to disrupt healthcare services across Ghana. Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh recently visited several health centers to assess the situation and appealed to the GRNMA to end their strike and resume negotiations. "I urge the leadership to maintain calm and ensure there's no tension," Minister Akandoh stated during a press briefing. The GRNMA, however, remains steadfast in its demand for the full implementation of the 2024 collective bargaining agreement, citing fiscal constraints as a major hurdle in negotiations. The strike's impact on patients and the ongoing efforts to find a resolution remain central concerns.
