The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has announced the suspension of its nationwide strike.
The GRNMA has directed members to resume normal shifts from Saturday 14 June.
The health workers initiated a strike on June 2, 2025, in protest against the government’s failure to implement an agreement signed with the previous Akufo-Addo administration.
The GRNMA grievances include the non-payment of critical allowances, such as responsibility, uniform, and non-basic allowances, which collectively amount to millions of cedis owed over time.
On Friday, June 13, 2025, a statement issued by the leadership of the Association stated the decision to suspend the industrial action was influenced by the pleas of Ghanaians and the intervention of Parliament’s Health Committee.
They described the meeting with the Parliament’s Health Committee on Thursday, June 12 as very fruitful.
The GRNMA in a statement stated, “We are nurses and midwives trained to provide essential health services to the Ghanaian population. Matters affecting us which are brought formally to the attention of the employer must be treated with the urgency it deserves and in good faith”.
“As a result, the GRNMA’s industrial action initiated on 2nd June 2025 is hereby suspended pending the outcome of a follow-up meeting scheduled for 26th June 2025,” they added.
