The National Association of Registered Midwives, Ghana (NARM-GH), has called on the government to expedite the implementation of the agreed conditions of service for nurses, midwives, physician assistants, and certified registered anaesthetists, in collaboration with the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
According to the Association, timely action will help prevent misunderstandings between healthcare unions and the government and avert any potential disruptions in healthcare delivery across the country.
Speaking at a leadership and capacity-building workshop organized by NARM-GH, National President Mrs. Leticia Atiah Asaaba emphasized the importance of dialogue and unity among health professionals. She urged the government not to exploit differences between the unions but rather engage constructively to ensure the welfare of healthcare workers.
“We have always remained united in our common goal—to advocate for the wellbeing of healthcare providers and the improvement of service delivery. We urge the government to act swiftly and take the welfare of health workers seriously,” Mrs. Asaaba stated.
The training program, which brought together over 130 participants, focused on leadership development, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. It formed part of NARM-GH’s ongoing commitment to empowering its members and strengthening healthcare delivery in Ghana.
General Secretary of the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), Mrs. Rosemond Agyeiwaa, commended NARM-GH for its steadfast leadership, especially during recent industrial challenges. She noted that midwives are not only skilled in safe delivery but also play vital roles in leadership and decision-making within the healthcare system.
Former TUC General Secretary Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah encouraged NARM-GH and UPNMG to deepen their collaboration to promote the welfare of their members and sustain quality healthcare nationwide.
NARM-GH reaffirmed its dedication to continuous professional development and partnership with stakeholders to ensure that all mothers, newborns, and families receive the best possible care.
