Parliament summons the leadership of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) to provide explanations regarding the ongoing nationwide strike that has disrupted healthcare services across the country.

The strike has seen thousands of nurses and midwives withdraw their services from hospitals and clinics, citing delayed salary adjustments, poor working conditions, and the government’s failure to implement previously agreed-upon allowances.

In a statement released by the Parliamentary Health Committee, the GRNMA has been requested to appear before Parliament on Thursday, June 12, 2025, to present their grievances and justify the industrial action, which has been criticized by some lawmakers as ill-timed and detrimental to national health efforts.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party Minority Caucus in Parliament has expressed solidarity with striking nurses, urging the government to honour the conditions of service agreement signed in May 2024.

A statement issued by the Caucus said: “The agreement aims to improve the working conditions and dignity of nurses in Ghana.

“No nurse in Ghana must be forced to choose between taking care of themselves and putting their patients first.”

Several major hospitals across the country, including Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, have reported significant disruptions, with patients being turned away and surgeries postponed.

Emergency units are operating with skeletal staff, relying heavily on volunteers and temporary hires.

The GRNMA has maintained that the strike will continue until the government provides a clear and binding commitment to resolving their concerns.

The government of Ghana has made an urgent appeal to retired nurses and midwives to volunteer their services temporarily in response to the ongoing nationwide strike by members of the GRNMA.

Addressing journalists at the Presidency in Accra on Monday, Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh said the Ministry is working tirelessly to resolve the impasse but must also act swiftly to alleviate the hardship patients are facing.
