The Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), has condemned in the strongest terms the violent assault on nurses at the Ridge Hospital Emergency Unit on Sunday evening, describing the act as ldquo;barbaric and criminal .

19/08/2025

The assault on our colleagues at Ridge Hospital is not the first, and sadly, may not be the last if urgent steps are not taken. Over the years, we have witnessed repeated attacks on nurses and other healthcare workers:
Each time, we issue statements, call for justice, and plead for protection. But the cycle continues. This is not just about Ridge — it’s about the safety and dignity of every healthcare worker in Ghana.

We cannot allow this to go on. Full statement below

UPNMG SUPPORTS A MEMBER IN NORTHERN REGION

The Northern Region branch of the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana(UPNMG), donates Ghc7,000.00 to Mr. Cayous Binitey to support him to undergo a neurosurgical procedure at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
Mr Cayous is staff at Binde Hospital in the Northeast Region of Ghana and a member of UPNMG in good standing. He was involved in a Road Traffic Accident(RTA) last week and was rushed to the Binde Hospital for medical attention and subsequently referred to TTH for further management. At TTH, a diagnosis of head injury was made, and he was then booked for a major procedure in the theatre. It was at this point that a support request was made to UPNMG, and leadership responded swiftly to it, hence the donation. The Northern Regional Welfare Officer, Hon. Mohammed Seidu handed the said amount to the wife, who was right beside his bed, on behalf of the Union in the presence of ward staff/members.
The wife prayed for UPNMG and thanked the leadership for the swift response to their call for help.

UPNMG, Integrity and Professionalism!!

Earlier this afternoon, 9th July 2025, the leadership of the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), led by the Greater Accra Regional Organizer, together with the leadership of the Unemployed Nurses and Midwives, held a meeting with the Minister of Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, to discuss the way forward regarding the posting of our junior colleagues.

The Minister acknowledged the frustrations being experienced by our young nurses and midwives and expressed deep empathy for their situation. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to addressing the staffing challenges in the health sector, especially in light of the ongoing mass exodus of nurses and midwives from the country.

He also recognized the significant contribution of UPNMG to the health sector, particularly in advocating for the welfare of nurses and midwives across the nation.

The Minister assured the delegation that steps are being taken to expedite the process of securing financial clearance for our unemployed colleagues.

It was a productive and hopeful engagement, and we remain optimistic that positive results will follow soon.

We want to reassure our junior colleagues that UPNMG will stop at nothing to ensure that financial clearance is secured and that postings are granted to all affected individuals. To the 2020 batch who have worked for several months without salaries, we are also actively engaging the relevant authorities to resolve that matter.

Thank you.
