Nurses, midwives call off strike
The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives
Association (GRNMA) have called off their strike
following an agreement with government.

The President of the Association, Kwaku
Asante-Krobea confirmed this to Joy News on Friday
after their meeting with stakeholders in the
health sector.

The nurses withdrew all Out Patients Department
services with attention to only emergency and
maternity cases on Thursday, November, 10.

This action was preceded by the wearing of red
armbands from November 1-6 and an ultimatum to the
government to resolve issues confronting the
nurses on salary arrears, posting of graduate
nurses among others.

Some patients who visited the various hospitals
for treatment on Thursday were unattended to and
left to their fate as the nurses began their
strike.

These patients and others who visited the
hospitals on Friday can heave a sigh of relief as
the President promises that the nurses will return
to work and remain as long as government honours
promise made to them.
