The Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association of Ghana has announced a nationwide strike beginning Monday, June 2, 2025, to express their disappointment over 12 months of outstanding arrears owed to them.
According to the group, the decision has become necessary because the government has failed to settle the arrears, despite a 14-working-day ultimatum previously issued to prompt action.
Speaking in a recent interview, the President of the Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association of Ghana, Ebenezer Boateng, confirmed that they had no option but to withdraw their services on June 2 unless the government takes immediate action to resolve their plight.
“The minister has not communicated officially to us, which is very sad. This is because they see us now as insignificant in the health sector, in the ministry, as well as to the public.
“On June 2, we are going on a nationwide strike. We do not want to hear any story from them. This has been a consistent problem for about 5 years now. All they give is an assurance, we don’t need that now,” he emphasised in the interview monitored by this website.
