The intervention followed an escalating industrial action at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), where nurses and other staff members joined the strike over a looming eviction from their residential quarters.
The National Labour Commission (NLC) had previously ordered a halt to the strike action, directing the workers to resume duties while negotiations continued.

“Thankfully, we have reached a decision. But I want them to make their own announcement,” the Regional Minister shared.
The leadership of the health workers is expected to officially communicate the final directive to their members across the regional facilities.
