The Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives Ghana has expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Health, professional associations, media houses, and other stakeholders for supporting their long struggle for unpaid salaries.

In a statement, the coalition acknowledged the payment of one month’s salary in November 2025 but said it falls far short of meeting the needs of nurses and midwives who have worked 11–12 months without pay.

The group described the partial payment as “a painful reminder of the neglect” faced by healthcare workers, highlighting the debt, eviction threats, hunger, and psychological stress endured by its members.

The coalition is calling for a clear, written payment plan for all remaining arrears by the first week of December and insists on full settlement of outstanding salaries before the end of the year.

They reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful engagement while demanding fairness and respect from the Government of Ghana.

The coalition emphasized that the nursing and midwifery fraternity expects urgent action. “The hardship is unbearable, the delay unjustifiable, and the world is still watching,” the statement said.
