The Ghana Nurses-Midwife Trainees Association (GNMTA) has expressed concern over what it describes as a growing trend of physical assaults on nurses and midwives, warning that such incidents are undermining healthcare delivery and discouraging young people from pursuing careers in the profession. The Association's concerns follow the recent alleged assault of a nurse at the Tema Community 22 Polyclinic by a relative of a patient after she reportedly enforced the facility's visiting hours policy. Speaking at the 33rd Annual Delegates Congress of the Association at Ejisu Krapa in the Ashanti Region, the President of the Ashanti-Brong Ahafo Zone (ASHBA), Abankwa Takyiawa, described the incident as deeply troubling and called for urgent action to protect healthcare workers.
