A group of unemployed nurses who completed their training in 2016 contest President Akufo-Addo's claims that the government had granted financial approval and recruited more than 14,000 registered nurses who had completed their training in 2016. Last year.
According to them, the president seems to have been misinformed because they are still at home waiting for government intervention to use them.
In pronouncing Thursday the state of the nation address of 2019, President Akufo-Addo said he recruited more than 14,000 registered nurses who then began work on February 1, 2019.
"The government has granted financial authorization for the recruitment of eleven thousand one hundred and eighteen (11,018) health personnel to increase the existing clinical staff. To reinforce the efforts of the clinical staff, the Ministry of Health received, in September 2018, a new financial authorization to employ 14,000 five hundred twenty-four (14,254) nursing badistants (clinical and preventive). These nursing badistants belong to the group that pbaded the exams of public health training institutions in 2016 and started working on February 1, 2019, "said Akufo-Addo.
But the group said that the information was false.
The president of the Health Paramedic Coalition, Bright Bell, said in an interview with Citi News that the registered nurses in 2016 have not been posted yet.
He also complained that President Akufo-Addo announced that the government was working to allow funding for unemployed graduates in 2017 and 2018, while graduates in 2016 were not yet recruited.
"We're done in 2016 and 2017 and we're still here. So, if they talk about arrangements for our junior colleagues to be released, we are lost because we are still waiting for our authorization. I think the facts need to be exposed so that we can all understand the situation, "Bright Bell said.
