The Assistant National Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), has clarified the ongoing concerns surrounding health sector recruitment.
Philemon Gyapong emphasised that financial clearance is now the backbone of employment for nurses and midwives.
Speaking on Joy News' PM Express on Monday, February 24, he stated, "If you don't have financial clearance, it means you have not been budgeted for, and the government doesn't have a provision for your salary." He explained that the recruitment process has evolved significantly from the past, where newly employed health workers could wait up to a year before being added to the payroll. "That is what has changed from the previous recruitment process, where you go to work, and it takes a bit of time, like six months, one year, before they are put on a payroll. "At the moment, you are given financial clearance.
It means you have been budgeted for," he elaborated.
