The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has set a deadline of August 20, 2026, for newly recruited health professionals to report to their designated duty stations across the country. Failure to report by this date could result in the loss of their appointments, as the Ministry aims to swiftly fill vacancies created by such non-compliance.
Speaking during a meeting with members of the Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives, Akandoh revealed that the Ministry obtained financial approval before commencing the recruitment process to ensure that newly hired professionals receive their salaries promptly, preventing the accumulation of arrears experienced in previous recruitment drives.
The Minister emphasized that the August 20 deadline is crucial to prevent the ministry from keeping positions vacant for too long, as health facilities urgently need additional personnel. He urged the remaining recruits to report by the deadline, stating that those who fail to do so by the 20th may lose their positions and be replaced during a subsequent mop-up exercise.
