Korle Bu OPD services suspended as nurses’ strike hits day 3

Outpatient services at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have been brought to a standstill as the nationwide strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) enters its third day.

The ongoing industrial action stems from the government’s failure to implement better conditions of service previously agreed upon with the association. As a result, patients seeking care at the hospital’s OPDs have been left stranded.

GRNMA Secretary David Tenkorang, speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse, stated that the association will not return to the negotiation table unless the signed and finalized terms are fully implemented.

“We’ve shown enough patience with this administration,” he said. “Our demands are not elastic, they are clear and achievable. This delay is unnecessary.”

The strike continues to affect healthcare delivery nationwide, with calls mounting for urgent government intervention.
