The GRNMA has suspended its strike
The executive secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), David Tenkorang-Twum, has said that the aftermath of his strike confirms their importance to the well-being of the country.
Speaking to Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show, he revealed that the strike would not have happened if the nurses and midwives had received their fair share years ago.
“Now people have seen the importance of midwives and nurses.
We wanted something for our people that would be provided to them some twenty or ten years ago, but not at the risk of the citizen of Ghana. We weren’t even supposed to get to this point. If the nurses were respected, we would not have reached this point ”.
Commenting on why the nurses and midwives called off their strike, David Tenkorang-Twum noted: “We heard the shout from Ghanaians and some leaders who spoke to us and returned to work. Also, the government gave us a court order and we, as such, had no choice.
In addition, it revealed that the GRNMA is in consultation with the necessary bodies. However, if they don’t get the desired results, “the Ghanaians will hear us.”
The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) ordered its members to withdraw their services from Monday, September 21, as they claim the government has failed to improve conditions of service for the more than 82,000 members.
However, the National Labor Commission obtained an order from the High Court to prevent the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) and its allied health partners from launching the planned strike.
