Following discussions with the administration, the Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association (RNMA) has decided to postpone its plan to hold a demonstration.
Members of the organization staged a protest about their working circumstances a few weeks ago.
Members of the group, however, claimed in a statement that they had suspended the protest after the government promised to address their unpaid benefits following a meeting between its leadership and the Ministry of Health on Thursday, 18/2023
The government and GRNMA reached an agreement on a number of issues, including the financial clearance for the current rotation group of nurses and midwives, who are anticipated to be discharged by the end of this month
"We are pleading with all of our cherished members in this notice to maintain their composure while leadership takes the required actions to ensure that our allowances are fully paid. Additionally, we will continue the big nationwide protest through the end of this month. The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association's prompt interventions are appreciated.
"At the conclusion of the discussion, it was decided that the current rotation group of nurses and midwives would receive their financial clearance, perhaps by the end of this month. No requirement for biometric registration would exist. Your Ghana card information is the only prerequisite for creating the employee ID and paying your necessary allowances, according to the GRNMA's announcement.
Last Monday, the Rotational Nurses and Midwives Association urged the government to give its members' allowance payments top priority.
According to the organisation, its members are going through terrible suffering as a result of the government's failure to pay the allowances.
Paul Dodzi, one of the group's members, allegedly passed away as a result of the suffering.
According to reports, the deceased Rotational Nurse committed suicide at Asankragua in the Western Region as a result of hardship.
