The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has announced that over 6,000 unpaid health professionals will begin receiving their salaries starting November 2025.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Akandoh disclosed that Cabinet has approved the payments and that the Ministry of Finance has directed the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to initiate disbursements.
“From November this year, they will be paid. However, the arrears will be rolled out in phases,” he stated.
At an earlier press briefing, the Minister explained that the delays were caused by the lack of financial clearance for the recruitment of about 13,500 nurses and midwives by the previous administration.
He assured health workers that government is taking steps to address the outstanding arrears systematically while ensuring the sustainability of payroll management within the health sector.
