Nurses at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital declared an indefinite strike on Monday, October 31 following what they call government’s failure to provide the facility with the basic logistics needed to carry out their work effectively.

Nurses at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital have called off their strike after the government provided some of the items demanded by the nurses.

In an interview with Pulse.com.gh the Chairperson for the group Jamila Hussein said they will start work from tomorrow (Tuesday, November 7)

she added.

She further added that they will abide by the orders given by the Ghana Registered Nurses Association (GRNA) for them to withdraw their services from the Out Patients Department.

The Members of the GRNA have suspended services from the Out Patients Department (OPD) of every public health facility nationwide starting from November 7.

A circular sent to nurses and sighted by Pulse.com.gh mentioned their salary arrears as one of their reasons for embarking on the withdrawal of service.
