If I'm asked to provide a solution to this problem, I would simply ask any Nurse out there on strike to consider themselves sacked if they don't return within one week. Those who know the illegality in their strike action must be given the choice to return to work or go home permanently within this one week. We can then fill up those deserted places in time and quickly re-train the new ones so they can stand in perfectly for the work that needs to be done. With time, we would come to have experienced Nurses like these wicked and unreasonable ones who are striking!

What do you expect the dinning hall prefect as a minister of health. Govt is not serious. They talk big when they are in opposition stupid and fool as they are. Sad to live in a poor country.

The nurse deserves better conditions and I do support them somehow. Why am I saying this, the politicians are the ones responsible for the problems we are currently experiencing in this country. Why should you pay managing directors or the purported CEOs of state entities several thousands of cedis a month? That is not all, they also included benefits and perks that are equal to their take home pay. There are unconfirmed reports that the electoral commissioner and associate agencies CEOs are paid in excess of over ghc62000 a month excluding other benefits. Why are we doing this to ourselves? I don’t subscribe to the strike of the nurses, but I support their decision to seek for better and improved conditions.

Look at your MP Sam George can’t even do his job rather blaming the previous government but was bashing left and right now he’s in the driver’s seat he doesn’t know how to handle the steering.NDC FOOLS are good in opposition but not to govern

I remember during Rawlings era we went on strike as disappointed teachers. As has been the usual thinking of NDC coconut heads, there was a cry of sack them, sack them by these individuals with kerosene in their blood surrogates, Rawlings of all people couldn't do foko because he knew he was dealing with people with low IQ. NDC are fools and they will continue to be fools

Sick people are forced to go home bcos nurses are on strike, fine.
Any nurse or nurse relative who attempts to visit any health facility must also be forced to go home.

anyone who goes on strike, must be asked to do re-application for valuation.
This type of nonsense in the public sector must stop.
why are we allow medical practitioners and nurses to take this country and her people for bargains ?
are they going to compensate any family who may loose their love ones during the striking period ?
parliament must as a matter of urgency formulate a BILL to preventing Teachers and medical practitioners from going on strike.
It is either you subscribe to the government policies, pay structures and rules or you voluntarily turn your resignation from government payrolls -
here in switzerland , you there not go on strike.
if you think you are not satisfy with your job conditions , the door is already open.
why do government allow these workers to use the life of the people as a chip to bargain their selfish demands ?
the narrative must urgently change in the resetting agenda.
you the people can no longer allow this to happen.
All those nurses who are on strike must be asked to pay the training allowances given to them , and asked to leave if they are not satisfy.

The nurses need to be reasonable. The agreement was signed when ghc was 16 to the $. Now it is ghc 10 to the $. They must look at the total picture. All hands need to be on deck to save Ghana. Expecting government to keep printing money and blowing the budget and increase deficit as was done in past can no longer work.

Seriously, the Nurses we are told are part of the essential service providers, so are not legally entitled to go on strike. I appreciate their concerns but they can't take one year to correct or achieve all their demands that has accumulated for decades. They should understand that thinks don't work this way. Now they are on illegal strike and yet want government to resolve their issues.
They can't be on illegal strike and expert government to fullfil their grievances.
