The Government has given financial clearance for the recruitment of 20,084 nurses this year, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, the Director General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced. He said the appointment of the newly-recruited nurses are being processed and they would be posted by April, this year.
Confirming the validity of the President’s pronouncement that the government was recruiting the 2016 batch of bonded nurses as stated in last week’s State of the Nation Address, he said the President did not peddle falsehood.
“The process to engage them has already begun, but due process must be followed, to get everything properly done,” Dr Nsiah Asare emphasized.
Speaking at the Ashanti Regional 2018 Annual Performance Review Meeting of the GHS in Kumasi, he said more nurses and other health workers would be engaged this year considering the numerous hospital projects currently going on across the country.
