Nurses at Manhyia Hospital begin strike today over gov’t failure to sack NSS Director
Nurses at the Manhyia government hospital will start a sit-down strike starting today, Friday, December 2, in protest of the failure to fire the Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS).
The strike will intensify on December 6 if the NSS regional director, Mr. Alex Opoku-Mensah, is still in charge, according to the organization leading the strike, the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
If their demand is not satisfied, the Association further stated in a statement that nurses will go on strike countrywide by Friday, November 9, 2022.
The NSS administration has suspended Mr. Opoku-Mensah awaiting investigations, but the GRNMA is dissatisfied.
They want him fired from his position as a result of entering the Manhyia Government Hospital and insulting an on-duty nurse.
