Dr. Sandaare Assures Nurses and Midwives of Improved Conditions as Economy Recovers
Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Health Committee, Dr. Sebastian Sandaare, has assured nurses and midwives that the government will improve their conditions of service as the economy stabilizes.
Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on Sunday, June 22, 2025, Dr. Sandaare expressed confidence that President Mahama’s administration would provide additional incentives once the economy improves.
He acknowledged the vital role healthcare workers play, stating that the government is not ignoring their demands.
“Government is not saying that it is wrong to give them uniforms. Government is only saying that give us some time because their issues were not captured in the 2025 budget,” Dr. Sandaare explained. “But we know what motivated nurses and midwives can do in terms of delivering quality healthcare.”
He assured them that President John Dramani Mahama would go beyond supplying uniforms and offer more incentives if the economy picks up.
“That is why I believe that under his leadership, nurses and midwives will not leave this country. They will be excited and work in an enabling environment,” Sandaare added.
Nurses and midwives recently resumed work after going on strike to demand the implementation of their conditions of service agreed upon in May 2024. The strike, which began on June 2, 2025, led to the withdrawal of emergency services, significantly impacting healthcare delivery.
Following the intervention of the Parliamentary Health Committee, the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) suspended the strike on June 13, 2025.
A final meeting between nurses, midwives, and the government is scheduled for June 26, 2025, to resolve the matter.

The health initiative, taking place at the Adabraka forecourt of Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals, forms part of Silva Lady’s role as Brand Ambassador and her commitment to community wellness.

Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals has announced a free skin and dental screening exercise in celebration of the birthday of media personality, philanthropist, and Brand Ambassador for the company Silva Lady, which falls on September 7th. The initiative will take place on Saturday, September 6, at the forecourt of Royal Dach Pharmaceuticals in Adabraka, Accra (behind the Franko Trading Enterprise building), beginning promptly at 7:00 AM.

Members of the public are encouraged to share the information and take advantage of this opportunity. For further inquiries, individuals can contact 0243150609 or 0561886515.

Ridge Nurse Drags Social Media Influencer to Court, Demands GHS 7m for Assault and Defamation
Rejoice Tsotso Bortei, a nurse at Ridge Hospital, has taken social media personality Ralph Saint Williams, popularly known as Ralph De Fellow Ghanaian, to court after accusing him of physically assaulting her and damaging her reputation online.
The civil suit, filed at the Accra High Court on August 20, 2025, seeks a total of GHS 7 million in damages — GHS 5 million for assault and GHS 2 million for defamation.
According to her lawyers, Bortei was attacked on August 17 during a chaotic incident involving relatives of a patient. She claims the assault left her with a dislocated shoulder and a hand injury, making it difficult for her to work.
The nurse also says Ralph worsened the situation by going public with defamatory comments, calling her a “liar” and accusing her of faking her injuries to cover up alleged issues at the hospital.
Bortei is asking the court to order Ralph to:
Apologize and retract his comments publicly.
Stop making further defamatory remarks.
Stay at least 50 meters away from her.
Pay legal fees and other costs.
The court has given Ralph eight days to respond to the suit or risk judgment being entered against him.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has tasked a new committee with investigating the rising cases of assault on nurses and health workers at Ridge Hospital, giving them one week to present their findings.
