The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has expressed disappointment over the rescheduling of a critical meeting with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health.
According to the Association, further delays in implementing agreed demands may trigger a renewed industrial action.
In a press briefing held on Thursday, June 26, the GRNMA announced that the meeting, originally set for 26th June 2025, has been unilaterally postponed to 10th July 2025.
According to a letter from the Parliamentary Services, the postponement was due to the unavailability of “some key stakeholders who are currently unavoidably outside the jurisdiction.”
The Association had embarked on a series of actions beginning 2nd June, culminating in a full withdrawal of nursing and midwifery services on 9th June 2025.
The strike was subsequently suspended on 13th June 2025 following the intervention of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health and appeals from the Ghanaian public, particularly patients.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Parliament’s Health Committee, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, says the committee remains committed to ensuring the government addresses the concerns of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
His comments follow the postponement of a scheduled meeting with the Health and Finance Ministers to July 10, 2025, due to their absence from the country.
