Ghanaian freelance vlogger, Kobena Ackom, popularly referred to as Wode Maya, has urged the government to address the rising trend of unemployment among graduate nurses and midwives in the country. During a recent trip abroad, he met a group of Ghanaian nurses departing the country for the United Kingdom to seek greener pastures, as shared on his X page on Monday, August 26, 2024. In an interaction with the group of nurses, made up of females and males, they disclosed that they were travelling abroad to seek better opportunities because four years after completing their nursing trainings, they were yet to be posted, a situation that they said has made life unbearable for them. "We have not been posted since we completed school four years ago," one of the nurses stated. Wode Maya subsequently appealed to the government to address the rising trend of unemployment among nurses in the country. "This is brain drain. I think the government has to do something about this," he stated.
