We’ll post aggrieved Nurses soon – Tina Mensah

The deputy Minister of Health Tina Mensah has assured that process are far advanced to get the aggrieved bonded nurses picketing at the health Ministry posted.

Nonetheless, she said they would have to be a bit patient as the Ministry is in talks with the Finance Ministry to get the necessary clearance for that.

“We are still talking to finance Ministry and very soon we will post them,” she said Wednesday Starr fm in an interaction with Francis Abban.

Appeals

Distraught by their conditions, the Public Relation Officer of the Ministry, Robert Cudjoe appealed to them to be patient as government continues with process to get them posted to various health posts across the country.

He said: “We have started the recruitment exercises and some categories of nurses have been issued their appointment letters. Some have reported to their stations and have started work. It’s a process because it’s a huge number and about 11,000 have been cleared.

“We instructed the various heads of agencies to begin the recruitment process. We are looking at over 7000 health professionals but this category of nurses’ issue is also on the table and it’s being discussed, so at an appropriate time.”

The Chief Director at the Ministry Dr Afissah Zakaria said her outfit is liaising with the Finance Ministry to facilitate the clearance of the affected nurses for their postings.
