The Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association (RNMA) is angry with the government’s delay in authorizing their finances and is mulling a week-long peaceful demonstration.
The RNMA, which includes 12,594 members from the July 2023 class, has given the government a two-week deadline to address their issues; otherwise, they may go on strike.
Since July 2023, when mandatory national service began, the government has allegedly ignored the demands of RNMA members around the country.
The group, led by National President Ambley Kwame Junior, requested funding approval from the Ministry of Health in September 203 but received no answer.
The RNMA expressed their dissatisfaction and asked all concerned parties to make sure they be paid what is rightfully theirs. The organization stresses the value of treating everyone fairly and wishes for a speedy settlement to prevent delays in medical care.
“The leadership of the Rotational Nurses and Midwifes Association in one spirit writes to you friends of the media and the general public to express our heartfelt disappointment in the government for leaving us to our fate during these difficult times.” this was written in a press statement.
