We’ll picket at the ministry if you don’t post us before Friday – Nurses trainees
Angry Members of the 2019 batch of Nurse Assistant Preventive (NAP) and Nurse Assistant Clinical (NAC) have served notice that they will picket at the Ministry of Health if the government fails to post them by the end of July 2022.
The aggrieved nurses lamented that though they have been registered on the Ministry of Health’s recruitment portal and made several follow-ups to draw the attention of the government to their plights, it has fallen on deaf ears, hence their decision to picket.
Victor Kofi Dzikunu, a member of the Nurse Assistant Preventive and Nurse Assistant Clinical (NAC) 2019 batch, in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM said “This November will be three years since we completed school, but we are still home. We have been to the Ministry of Health severally, but we were given assurance that we will be posted. We thought the Finance Minister was going to address our concerns yesterday[Monday] in the mid-year budget review, but it was not done,” he said.
He further added, “We are about 10,727 members in the 2019 batch so if we are not posted by the end of this month, which is this Friday, we will all gather at the Ministry of Health on Monday until our issues are addressed”.
