The Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association has threatened to intensify its industrial action if the government does not heed their calls.
The group is expressing discontent with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance for their failure to provide financial clearance and permanent employment to over 75,000 graduate nurses and midwives.
In a Citi News interview with the Vice President of the association, Mubarak Suale, he said the members would extend the strike to Kumasi, Accra, and other regions if the government does not address their concerns.
“We are not just interested in picketing or demonstrating, if we get the good news today that our financial clearance has gone through, we will rejoice and appreciate the intervention by the authorities.
“But if the silence continues as it has been for the past three years, we will prefer to rather be on the streets.”
