Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Former President John Dramani Mahama has assured trainee nurses that his administration would prioritise job creation within the healthcare sector. Mr Mahama said this would ensure that nurses and other healthcare workers have stable and rewarding careers. Addressing some trainee nurses on Saturday, he said "We know the problems with trainee nurses and that is why when we were in government, we said we were going to substitute your allowance with the students' loan because we wanted to create more employment for you. What is important for you is not the allowance it is to get a job when you finish school," He added that "But somebody came and said he will pay the allowances. Unfortunately, it was 419…Come and pay the nurses you owe them almost 30 months of arrears.
