Ghana targets thousands of overseas nursing jobs under Labour Export Programme

The government is seeking to secure thousands of overseas employment opportunities for Ghanaian nurses as demand for skilled health professionals grows in several international labour markets.

Mr Agyekum made the remarks at a send-off ceremony for the second cohort of Ghanaian health workers travelling to Grenada under the government's Labour Export Programme.

The government says expanding the initiative could help more trained health professionals secure jobs, although details of the total number of overseas vacancies, recruitment timelines and placements expected under the programme were not provided in the remarks.
