KBTH OPD services crippled as nurses, midwives strike enters day three

Healthcare services at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital have been severely disrupted on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, as the strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) entered its third day.

A widely-circulated video on social media captured a number of patients stranded at the OPD, with limited staff.

The OPD was left nearly deserted, with patients stranded and unable to access medical attention.

The ongoing industrial action stems from the government’s delay in implementing improved conditions of service for nurses and midwives.

The GRNMA has remained firm in its stance, insisting that the strike will continue until the government meets its demands.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health has called for dialogue to resolve the impasse, citing the need to safeguard public health and ensure continuity of care.

“We urge the GRNMA to rescind its decision and continue engaging in dialogue with us to reach a lasting resolution,” it noted in a statement.
