The Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association (GUNMA) has threatened to stage a major demonstration, citing extreme frustration over the government’s protracted delay in posting its members, some of whom have been out of work for up to five years since graduating.A planned demonstration for this week was called off after the association was unable to finalise security arrangements with the Greater Accra Regional Police Command.

According to the association, it has meet with the Regional Police Command to secure clearance and finalise logistics for the planned protest, which members warn could escalate to the highest levels of government.

The planned demonstration is the latest manifestation of deep-seated discontent among thousands of qualified nurses and midwives who remain jobless despite their importance in the national healthcare system. The group intends to use the protest to directly air their grievances at key government institutions.

speaking to Class News Women's President of the Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association, Sandra Frimpong, confirmed the group's determination in an interview with Adom News to take their case directly to decision-makers.

"The association is prepared to take their grievances to the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, and the Jubilee House if necessary," She said on Tuesday, December 9, at the National Theatre, where they had initially planned to hold the protests.
