“No Nurse Has Gone Home”

Post-Dec 7 Appointments Revocation: “No Nurse Has Gone Home” – GRNMA Assistant PRO
The Assistant Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), says no nurse has been affected by the directive issued by the Chief of Staff, which annulled all public sector appointments made after December 7, 2024.
According to Philemon Agyapong, the directive initially caused unrest among nurses.
However, the Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandah, has since clarified the issue, bringing calm to the situation.

On Monday, February 24, 2025, he assured that no nurse has had his/her appointment annulled.

He explained that following the Chief of Staff’s directive, the Association engaged with the Health Minister, who clarified that nurses who went through due process and obtained financial clearance would not be affected.

“No nurse has gone home as we speak,” Mr. Agyapong stated.
