The Ministry of Health has announced that more than 6,000 newly recruited nurses have received their salaries, representing part of the 13,500 nurses enlisted nationwide.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, December 3, the Ministry assured that all remaining administrative processes are being addressed to ensure full payment for every recruit.
The Ministry also commended the medical officers who have already reported to their duty stations and urged those yet to do so to report by Friday, December 12, 2025.
According to the Ministry, the recent postings are not intended as punishment but are necessary to ensure an equitable distribution of healthcare workers across the country.
“Families and relatives of the newly posted medical officers are encouraged to support them in accepting and settling into their assigned postings, especially in underserved areas,” the statement said.
The Ministry further appealed to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to provide essential incentives such as accommodation, transport support, and other basic amenities to help attract and retain health professionals in their districts.
It also clarified that no changes will be made to the recent postings.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Ghana’s health workforce and ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare services nationwide.
