Northern Region needs better conditions to retain nurses and midwives – UPNMG President
Speaking at the Northern Regional Nurses and Midwives Conference in Tamale, Mr Oduro Yeboah said although the region produces a significant number of healthcare professionals, inadequate infrastructure, limited accommodation and inequitable deployment systems continue to drive many of them elsewhere.
Mr Oduro Yeboah observed that the Northern Region remains one of Ghana's leading centres for training nurses and midwives through institutions such as the Tamale Nurses Training College, the University for Development Studies, the Nalerigu College of Nursing and Midwifery, and other health training institutions.
The National President of the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), Maxwell Oduro Yeboah, has called for deliberate government investment in the Northern Region to improve the retention of nurses and midwives, saying many health professionals leave not by choice but because of poor working and living conditions.
