Accra: The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has suspended its strike following a successful meeting with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health. The Association in a media statement signed by its President, Mrs. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, urged members to resume normal shift duties from Saturday, June 14, 2025, assuring them of its consistent efforts to ensure the full implementation of their collective agreement.

According to Ghana News Agency, this suspension comes after a series of industrial actions, which included the withdrawal of emergency and Out-Patient Department services by the Association. These actions, which commenced on June 2, 2025, were prompted by the government’s perceived lack of commitment to implementing the Collective Agreement for Ghanaian nurses and midwives.

The GRNMA reiterated that matters affecting the conditions of service for nurses and midwives were paramount, as they provided essential services to the Ghanaian population. The statement emphasized the urgency and good faith required in addressing these issues, acknowledging the critical role nurses and midwives play in the healthcare system.

The GRNMA stressed its non-partisan stance and long-standing commitment to working with various governments since 1960, focusing on building a resilient health system and representing the interests of its members. The Association praised the Parliament Select Committee for its intervention and lauded the nursing and midwifery fraternity for their solidarity in adhering to the roadmap.
