The Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association of Ghana has declared its intention to embark on a nationwide strike effective Monday, June 2, 2025, to protest the delayed payment of their allowances.
On May 14, 2025, the association gave the Ministries of Health and Finance 14 working days to grant financial clearance and settle the accumulated allowances.
Despite having diligently worked for almost a year without financial clearance, the association stated that both ministries have failed to address the issue.
They, therefore, warned that should their demands remain unmet, they would take further action, including proceeding with the planned strike.
In an interview with Accra-based Citi News, the association’s president, Ebenezer Boateng, expressed frustration over the continued silence from the relevant stakeholders.
“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 five years now. All they give is an assurance — we don’t need that now,” he declared.
