The Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association of Ghana has declared a nationwide strike beginning June 2, 2025, in response to the government’s failure to pay their outstanding allowances.
The Association reports that its members are owed 12 months of unpaid stipends, a situation they describe as unbearable. Despite issuing a 14-working-day ultimatum to the government, there has been no response to their demands.
President of the Association, Ebenezer Boateng, voiced deep frustration over the government’s continued inaction and confirmed that the strike will proceed as planned if the issue remains unresolved.
“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 stated.
He emphasized that the Association has been left with no alternative but to withdraw its services until definitive measures are taken to address the prolonged payment delays.
