Financial Clearance Given to Ghana Health Service to continue Recruitment of Nurses and Midwives


Financial Clearance Given to Ghana Health Service to continue Recruitment of Nurses and Midwives.

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has resumed the placement process for the supplementary list of 2020 nurses and midwives who received financial clearance in 2024. 

This development comes after a temporary halt due to administrative challenges. The GHS has officially communicated this directive in a letter signed by the Acting Director-General, Prof. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea. 

According to the GHS, regional health offices with vacancies are encouraged to take proactive steps in attracting the outstanding numbers of nurses and midwives. Regional directors are urged to use provided contact numbers to facilitate the placement of qualified personnel. 

The Ministry of Health had previously assigned this supplementary batch to various agencies under the GHS for placement. 

However, administrative challenges led to a temporary discontinuation of the process. With the latest directive, the placement exercise is set to resume effective Monday, March 3, 2025. 

This initiative is expected to alleviate the staffing shortages in many healthcare facilities across the country, ensuring that hospitals and clinics have the necessary human resources to provide quality healthcare services. 

The Ghanaian government has been making efforts to strengthen the healthcare system through increased recruitment and deployment of health professionals. 

The financial clearance granted in 2024 was a significant step toward integrating more trained nurses and midwives into the system. 

By resuming the placement exercise, the GHS is reaffirming its commitment to ensuring that healthcare workers are adequately distributed to meet the growing demands of the sector. 

All nurses and midwives affected by the temporary halt in placement are advised to stay in touch with their respective regional health directorates for further instructions. 

The GHS has assured all affected personnel that the process will be expedited to facilitate a smooth transition into service. 

For further information, concerned individuals can contact the Ghana Health Service via their official website (link unavailable) or call their helpline at +233 (0) 302 642 014. 

This latest development is a positive sign for healthcare professionals awaiting employment, and it highlights the government’s dedication to reinforcing the healthcare workforce for improved service delivery in Ghana.
