UNPAID HEALTH WORKERS TO RECEIVE SALARIES AS GOVERNMENT DELIVERS ON ITS COMMITMENT

-


The Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has announced significant progress in addressing the backlog of unpaid salaries and recruitment challenges it inherited upon assuming office.


Speaking at a press conference, Hon. Mintah Akandoh said the Ministry has worked diligently with the Ministry of Finance to resolve long-standing issues affecting thousands of health workers across the country.


He disclosed that 883 medical house officers who began work in 2024 without pay have now been placed on a salary, while clearance has been secured for 203 doctors employed late last year.

 


Approval has also been given for the recruitment of 800 doctors who completed their housemanship in 2024 but were still awaiting placement, he added.


The Minister added that 321 pharmacists who completed their housemanship in early 2024 have now received their allowances.


Additionally, 15,755 rotation nurses and midwives, as well as 2,154 allied health interns who have not been paid since completing their national service, will begin receiving their allowances from next month.



Regarding the issue of 13,500 nurses and midwives whose financial clearance expired before their postings, the Ministry confirmed that over 7,000 have already been paid, and clearance has been obtained for the remaining 6,500, which will be processed immediately.


Hon. Akandoh emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring that all affected health workers are paid and that such administrative lapses do not recur. He assured health professionals of the Ministry’s continued efforts to strengthen systems and protect the welfare of Ghana’s health workforce.

MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers. MTN controls some crazy market elasticity, where even in the face of a full-blown scandal, the company still retains a massi...

We Must RESET Our Music Industry

We Must RESET Our Music Industry  C.E.O of Speech Production Mr. Enock Agyepong writes Music is more addictive than any drug. The more you ignore it, the more it follows you just like your shadow. Simply put, people will never stop loving music, and as a result, there will always be individuals willing to invest in it. However, many who have invested in music over the years have seen no returns because the industry lacks proper structures and security for investors. Many have been bruised and have no intention of ever returning to this industry. Some have been defamed and disrespected by the very brands they supported. Others have abandoned music entirely and some have resorted to dog farming whiles others are selling phones. Yet, instead of fixing the mess, we seem more interested in exploiting the “broken system." In football, managers cannot simply steal players from another team without facing severe consequences. When a foreign club buys a local player, his former team someti...
