Health Ministry reveals strategy to clear backlog of over 107,000 unemployed nurses in Ghana

The ministry recently launched a recruitment drive to employ the 2021 batch, but over 100 thousand trained nurses from 94 health training institutions, spanning four batches, have been home without employment.

In an exclusive interview with JoyNews, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Tony Goodman, revealed the long waiting periods could soon be over for unemployed nurses as the ministry introduces a strategic approach to deal with the challenge.

Trained nurses and allied health professionals idling at home several years after training without employment has become a routine in Ghana.
