The GRNMA has been on strike since June 4, 2025, over delays in implementing their 2024 Conditions of Service, which were agreed upon on May 20, 2024. Despite the National Labor Commission declaring the strike illegal, the Association has insisted on continuing the strike until their demands are met.
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Health acknowledged GRNMA’s concerns and indicated its commitment to facilitating negotiations and working towards addressing the concerns of the aggrieved nurses and midwives.
The government has indicated that it faces challenges in implementing the conditions of service due to budget limitations. However, both parties remain committed to finding a solution that benefits all stakeholders.
