The Man Behind the PRO Campaign

A journey of over 18 years — from District Secretary to Regional Chairman — built on integrity, service, and a deep commitment to amplifying the voice of nurses and midwives in Ghana. This is the foundation of Alfred Addy's bid to serve as Public Relations Officer of the GRNMA.

The Right Person for the Right Role

Public relations is more than communication — it is about shaping perception, strengthening trust, protecting professional dignity, and ensuring that our collective voice is heard clearly, consistently, and credibly. Alfred Addy has spent 18+ years doing exactly that.

Communication Champion

As Team Lead for the Ghana Journal of Nursing and Midwifery and editorial committee member at GRNMA National Council, Alfred has hands-on experience in professional communication and knowledge dissemination.

Digital Modernization

Alfred built four digital systems — including Ghana's Most Digitalized Hotel and an award-winning website — proving his capacity to leverage digital and social media platforms for institutional visibility and reach.

Stakeholder Engagement

Two terms as Regional Chairman and multiple national council roles have honed Alfred's ability to engage media houses, government institutions, health sector stakeholders, and civil society organizations.

Reputation Protection

Under Alfred's leadership, Central Region earned five national awards and placed as 2nd Runner-Up Best Administrative Region — proof that he knows how to build and protect an institution's image and credibility.

Member-First Mindset

18+ years of union activism have never wavered from one core principle — the welfare, dignity, and professional recognition of nurses and midwives. As PRO, that commitment will drive every communication decision.

Integrity & Transparency

Alfred's pledge: to communicate with integrity, accuracy, and professionalism. To represent members' interests responsibly. And to serve with dedication, transparency, and accountability at every turn.

A Leader Forged in Service

Alfred Addy's journey in union activism is a story of dedication, resilience, and a deep commitment to the nursing and midwifery profession. The journey so far has been worthwhile and full of lessons necessary for growth.

Mentored by the late Madam Agnes Reynolds — a Midwife and a mother figure — Alfred was shaped by a tradition of selfless service. This guidance laid the foundation for a leadership style anchored on integrity, collaboration, and innovation.

Today, as GRNMA Central Region Chairman in a renewed second term and Team Lead for the Ghana Journal of Nursing and Midwifery, Alfred Addy brings a complete and credible profile for the PRO position — a combination of grassroots credibility, digital capability, and institutional trust that is rare and needed now.
