Nurses demoralized over murder of colleague – Nurses & Midwives Association

The leadership of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) says its members are demoralized following the death of the 37-year-old nurse at Ayoum in the Ashanti Region.

The Association’s executives have met with police to receive progress on their investigations after the death of Ruth Ama Eshun.

According to them, the recent development raises concerns about the security of nurses especially those who work in areas where their lives can be in danger.

Already, one person is in the grips of police as investigations into the matter continue. Speaking to Citi News after meeting the police, Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, Thomas Asafo Agyei called for calm among members.

The lifeless body of Ruth Ama Eshun was found at Ayuom near Sewua in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region, a few meters to her home last week.

Ms. Eshun was last seen by her colleagues leaving the Sewua Health Centre, where she worked as a registered community health nurse, on Monday, February 3rd, 2020.

Relatives of Ruth Ama Eshun, who could not trace the whereabouts of the deceased after she closed from work that Monday found her lifeless body a day later. Despite speculation, police are also yet to confirm if the deceased was raped before her death as being alleged by some Ghanaians.

The Association had earlier tasked the Ghana Police Service to intensify its investigations into the murder of Ms. Eshun.

President of the Association, Perpetual Ofori- Ampofo in a statement condemned the act. Meanwhile, there has been growing outrage on social media over the death of the nurse.

Ghanaians have since taken social media to demand expedited action from police.
