    The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has warned that the dismissal of nurses and midwives recruited after December 7, 2024, will result in a nationwide strike. The GRNMA expressed concerns that this decision will affect approximately 5,000 healthcare professionals.

    A letter issued on February 10, 2025, by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, instructed all heads of government institutions to annul any appointments made after December 7, 2024. The letter emphasized that these appointments violated established governance principles and good practices, urging the annulment of such recruitments.

    President of the GRNMA, Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, commented, “If the dismissal of these nurses and midwives proceeds, it will trigger a nationwide strike. Tensions within our fraternity are high, and we stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Should they be asked to stay at home, we too will stay home in support.”

    Ofori Ampofo also revealed that the GRNMA has engaged in discussions with the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, regarding the issue. She highlighted the challenges currently faced by healthcare professionals, noting that many are experiencing burnout due to understaffing, an imbalanced nurse-to-patient ratio, and the emigration of nurses to higher-income countries. She stressed the critical role that newly recruited nurses and midwives play in alleviating the pressure on existing staff.

    “If nurses and midwives have already been recruited to ease the burden on our healthcare system, it is illogical to suspend them for investigations,” Ofori Ampofo stated. “It would be more productive for them to remain in their positions while investigations are conducted, allowing for a more informed course of action.”

    The GRNMA remains resolute in its stance, and any decision to suspend the newly recruited nurses and midwives could lead to significant unrest within the healthcare sector.
