The Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives has issued a stern warning to authorities over the prolonged delay in paying their salary arrears, cautioning that they may be forced to withdraw their services if the issue is not addressed promptly.
Representing more than 6,000 nurses and midwives nationwide, the group revealed that only a handful of members have received payment for a single month. At the same time, approximately 300 personnel have not been paid at all since they assumed duty in December 2024.
The coalition described the non-payment, now extending to 11 months, as a source of severe financial hardship for its members.
During a press briefing held in Ejisu, Ashanti Region, on Monday, December 15, 2025, coalition leaders accused authorities of insincerity in handling the matter. They noted that the Ministry of Health had earlier promised a structured payment roadmap following the clearance of November salaries, a promise that, according to the group, remains unfulfilled.
The coalition called on the government to act swiftly and settle all outstanding entitlements without further delay. They warned that continued inaction could trigger industrial action, a step that would significantly disrupt healthcare delivery across the country if urgent measures are not taken.
