The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has announced it has withdrawn its decision to embark on a strike action.
The GRNMA stated that the decision to resume work fully follows a successful meeting with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC).
Speaking on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Mr Joseph Krampah, the National Public Relations Officer for the GRNMA, disclosed that key agreements discussed included an 8% non-basic allowance, fuel allowance adjustments, and the inclusion of other allowances in the 2026 national budget.
He confirmed that authorities have agreed to address three of their issues in the mid-year budget review presentation.
Mr Krampah commended nurses and midwives for supporting the leadership’s efforts in having their concerns addressed.
He also acknowledged the efforts of the media, the parliamentary select committee on health, and other stakeholders who engaged with them regarding their concerns.
He explained that while it was originally agreed for two of their concerns to be addressed, their meeting with the FWSC resulted in three out of four issues being captured in the mid-year budget review.
“We identified about eight issues, but three have been approved, and these approved ones will be featured in the mid-year budget review. Due to this latest development, we will no longer embark on the strike action. We had previously suspended our strike, but we have now decided to abandon the idea of embarking on a strike,” he stressed.
