The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that all their medical facilities remain operational and are committed to serving the public despite the ongoing nationwide strike action by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
In a press release issued on June 12, GAF emphasised that its healthcare services have been ramped up to ensure uninterrupted care for citizens.
The Ghana Armed Forces Critical Care and Emergency Hospital, situated at the Air Force Officers Mess, has begun receiving walk-in patients in addition to attending to critical cases.
In response to increased demand, the African Rapid Response Partnership — a peacekeeping support initiative — is establishing a field hospital at the 37 Military Hospital. This facility is expected to be fully operational by June 13, 2025, and will help accommodate more patients during this period.
At the 37 Military Hospital, alternative emergency arrangements have also been made to maintain continuity of care. A temporary medical unit, created at the Janitorial Unit ahead of the strike, is currently handling critical cases while the main Medical Emergency Unit undergoes routine fumigation. The primary unit is expected to resume full operations by Saturday, June 14, 2025.
Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Lieutenant General William Agyapong, visited several facilities alongside a high-powered delegation to assess their readiness.
He also announced a financial donation from the Military High Command to support the procurement of essential medical supplies and ease the financial burden on the hospital.
The Ghana Armed Forces used the occasion to appeal to individuals and organisations to support their medical facilities with resources, reiterating their commitment to delivering quality critical and emergency healthcare throughout the ongoing crisis.
