 Dr. Sandaare expressed his confidence that, once the economy stabilizes, President Mahama's administration will offer more incentives to nurses and midwives.
 Speaking on Sunday, June 22, 2025, on TV3's Hot Issues, he stated that the government is not ignoring the nurses' and midwives' demands because President Mahama is aware of the outstanding healthcare services that driven nurses could offer.

“Government is not saying that it is not right to give them uniforms. The government is only saying that give us some time because your issues were not captured in the 2025 budget.

“But government knows what motivated nurses and midwives can do in terms of quality health delivery in this country and I believe the kind of President that we have, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama will do more things if you look at how things are going when the economy picks up, he will go beyond uniforms, other incentives will be provided,” he stated.

He added: “And that is why I believe the President’s vision and where he is going is to come to a point where no nurses and midwives will leave this country because they will be excited, motivated and will be working in an enabling environment.”

After going on strike to protest the implementation of their May 2024 agreed-upon conditions of service, nurses and midwives have returned to work. When emergency services were cut off, the strike action was particularly severe. On June 13, 2025, the Parliamentary Health Committee intervened and the strike was halted.

“As a result, the GRNMA’s industrial action initiated on 2nd June 2025 is hereby suspended pending the outcome of a follow-up meeting scheduled for 26th June 2025,” the Association said.

A meeting between nurses, midwives and government has been scheduled for June 26, 2025 for a final resolution of the matter.
