A video of some Ghanaian nurses who have not received postings and are determined to leave the country without ever returning has gone viral on social media.
Interacting with YouTuber and Vlogger, Wodemaya at an airport, about 7 Ghanaians expressed excitement about relocating to London, UK.
When Wodemaya enquired about their reason for travelling, they cited the government’s inability to post them to various health institutions and the current challenges facing the economy.
“We are moving to London, forever and ever. The country has collapsed,” a male said.
A lady nurse said, “Akufo-Addo has refused to post us.”
President of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), Madam Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, has noted that the emigration of nurses is adversely affecting the labor force in the healthcare sector.
The Ministry of Health on Monday, August 5, commenced the recruitment of 15,200 nurses and midwives. The deadline for submission ended on Friday, August 23, 2024, at 6:00 pm.
