Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has announced that more than 13 countries have expressed interest in recruiting Ghanaian health professionals under a new managed migration strategy designed to tackle the growing backlog of unemployed health workers in the country.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Friday, the Minister said the initiative forms part of the government's broader plan to complement domestic recruitment efforts and create structured opportunities for qualified professionals abroad. "To complement government recruitment, we are exploring managed migration and private sector options.
Over 13 countries have now shown interest in recruiting Ghanaian health workers," he stated.
He emphasised that the proposed migration programme will be carefully regulated to ensure it does not negatively affect the delivery of healthcare services in Ghana.
