Registered Midwives, Ghana (NARM-GH) has elected new executive members to steer the affairs
of the Association for the next four years.
The seven-member newly elected executive board has Madam Regina Badii, as the Regional

Madam Mary Ofosu, the President of NARM-GH, who administered the Oath of Office to the
executives, called on members of the Association to render the needed support to them to stir the
affairs of the NARM-GH in the Region.
She urged contestants, who lost the election, to support the newly elected executives for the
growth and welfare of the Association.
“Let’s help each other to continue the good work so that NARM-GH will move forward and the
efforts of our predecessors over the years will not be in vain,” the National President said.
She said midwives had a critical role to play in the country’s health service delivery and urged
members to adhere to the ethics of the midwifery profession.
Madam Ofosu said midwives should eschew the love for money and work as professional
midwives.
Mrs Mariam Gumah, the outgone Regional Chairperson of the Association in her address,
commended the midwives across the Region for the various roles they played during the peak of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Some of our members got infected by the virus in their line of duty but eventually recovered by
the grace of God, and have not relented in the fight against the COVID-19,” she said.
She emphasized that career progression was very critical for the development of the midwife and
said current policies on career development frustrated many of the members within the Region.
“I wish to use this opportunity to appeal to national leadership to urgently look into this issue to
serve as a form of motivation for members to put up their best in the field,” she said.
Mrs Gumah thanked members of NARM-GH on behalf of the outgone executives for the
opportunity given to them to serve the Association and wished the newly elected executives well.
