PAC Vice Chairman advocates salary harmonisation for Allied Health Professionals
The Vice Chairman of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Davis Ansah Opoku, has called on the government to address concerns over salary disparities, career progression and conditions of service for Allied Health Professionals, arguing that their welfare is critical to improving healthcare delivery in Ghana.
He argued that the recommendation should be extended to the wider Allied Health workforce, including Medical Laboratory Scientists, Medical Laboratory Technologists, Physiotherapists, Radiographers, Dietitians, Occupational Therapists and other professionals.
