More than 40 per cent of the overall "stock" of qualified health workers trained in the country remain unemployed, a research has revealed.

The health professionals include medi­cal doctors, nurses and other allied health services professionals.

The staggering figure was revealed at the Global Health Workforce Programme stakeholders meeting in Accra yesterday.

The Global Health Workforce Pro­gramme (GHWP) is a major initiative aimed at strengthening the country's health workforce and health system.
