The Ministry of Health in Ghana has announced a major recruitment drive to enlist 15,200 nurses and midwives. Following financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance, the recruitment process will commence on Monday, August 5, 2024, at 12:00 noon. Qualified applicants are required to submit their applications through the Ministry’s online portal by Friday, August 23, 2024, at 6:00 pm.
The Ministry emphasized the transparency of the recruitment process, advising applicants not to make any payments for assistance. “The Ministry therefore advises all applicants not to make any payment for this process. Whoever pays money does so at his/her own risk,” the statement read. This initiative aims to bolster the healthcare workforce and improve service delivery nationwide.
Presidential Advisor on Health, Dr. Nsiah Asare, highlighted that the government has completed over 40 hospitals, including projects inherited from previous administrations. The government is also working on the Agenda 111 health projects and providing specialized training for medical staff to enhance healthcare delivery at regional and district hospitals.
