The attention of the Ministry of Health has been drawn to complaints from the 2019 rotation nurses working in line with their one-year mandatory national service programme, and from nurses being recruited into the government sector through the Ministry’s recruitment portal.
The Ministry of Health understands that some of the biometric registration officers are allegedly demanding Fifty Ghana cedis (GH¢50.00) for the on going process. Again, some of the facility-based Human Resource Officers are also allegedly demanding Two Hundred Ghana Cedis (GH¢200.00) before the processes are carried out.
The Ministry of Health directs that those involved in charging the rotation nurses and other cadre of health workers should cease the demand for fees before documents are processed. These demands are fraudulent and illegal.
The Ministry of Health will investigate the allegations and bring culprits to book.
Thank you.
