The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives’ Association (GRNMA) has reaffirmed its commitment to an ongoing industrial action, citing prolonged delays in the approval and implementation of a Collective Agreement signed in May 2024.

In a communiqué issued on June 3, 2025, and addressed to all media houses, the Association criticized what it described as “intimidation, divisive and false narratives” from the Ministry of Health. 

The GRNMA leadership called on the Ministry to instead focus on securing the necessary approvals from the Ministry of Finance to operationalize the agreement, which outlines improved working conditions for its members.

“The primary aim of leadership is none other than to get the Collective Agreement…approved and implemented without any further delay,” the statement said. The union maintained that the terms of Collective Agreements must be honored for their full duration before any renegotiations can occur.

The industrial action has so far included a withdrawal of Out-Patient Department (OPD) services, and the Association has now instructed its members to extend this to emergency services as well. Additionally, trainee and rotation nurses have been directed to participate fully in the outlined actions, with GRNMA emphasizing that these groups operate under the supervision of senior nurses and are expected to comply with the union’s directives.

The Association expressed gratitude to the press and to Members of Parliament who have advocated for swift government action. It also issued a warning that nursing and midwifery services across the country could be completely shut down by June 9, 2025, if their demands remain unmet.

The communiqué was signed by GRNMA President Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo and General Secretary Dr. David Tenkorang-Twum. 

The leadership urged members to remain “focused, resolute and unperturbed,” insisting that the action being taken is justified and in the interest of all healthcare professionals under the union’s umbrella.
