The Ghana Registered Nurses’ and Midwives’ Association (GRNMA) says it will also advocate for “Emotional Allowance” because of the nature of their jobs.
According to the Association, nurses and midwives face a variety of stress and emotional challenges in their jobs, so if some workers demand neutrality allowances, they will also demand emotional allowances.
Mrs. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, President of the Association, made the revelations in an exclusive interview with 3FM’s Sunrise hosted by Alfred Ocansey on Thursday.

May 12 every year has been set aside to celebrate nurses globally. This year’s celebration is under the theme: “A Voice to Lead—Invest in Nursing and Respect Rights to Secure Global Health”.
“We could be entitled to emotional allowance considering the kind of things that we go through in our duties”, the President explained.
Mrs. Ofori-Ampofo said “and the kind of stress that we go through, I think we need such allowance”.
“So maybe at our next negotiation table, we shall table it for consideration”, she added.
