Efforts still underway to employ jobless nurses – MoH

• Apr 17, 2024

Ministry of Health (MoH) has addressed concerns regarding the recruitment of health personnel and the payment of overdue allowances following a demonstration by rotational nurses, midwifery associations, and unemployed nurses in Accra.

During a media briefing, Isaac Offei Baah, the Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Health, reiterated the ministry’s dedication to resolving these issues promptly.

“Unfortunately, we have gotten to this level, but we are all aware that we cannot employ without clearance from the Ministry of Finance.

That also doesn’t mean that we are not working to ensure that we get adequate clearance and clear all our nurses who are not employed.

“We have enough evidence to show that after we received the list from NMC, we forwarded it to the Minister of Finance.

Their leader, who always comes to negotiate on their behalf, can attest to the fact that we have given him copies of evidence to show that the Ministry of Health is committed to ensuring their recruitment and ensuring their posting.”
