Some unemployed nurses around the nation have made indications that they want to protest the government’s delay in posting them to the various hospitals so they may start working.
On November 10, 2022, the unemployed nurses from Nurse Assistant Clinicals (NAC) and Nurse Assistant Preventives (NAP) will protest and picket the Ministries of Health (MoH) and Finance.
Ebenezer Enadu, the group’s public relations officer (PRO), informed classfmonline.com that despite having been given a license to practice, this batch of nurse assistant clinicals and nurse assistant preventives has been at home since 2019 and has not yet been posted to any public or private facility.
It’s not the first time we’ve demonstrated, picketed, or gone through so many other processes, he said, adding that.
“We have spoken with the various stakeholders on a number of occasions, but nothing noteworthy has come of it, so we are starting this procedure again.”
Before the group’s scheduled demonstration, the PRO for the group went into more detail on what was expected of them.
“The expectation is very straightforward that the Ministry of Finance will issue financial clearance. We’re only assuming that the Nurse Assistant Clinicals and Preventives have gone through the Ministry of Health Recruitment portal and have been given the various regions for which they’ll be posted.
The Ministry of Health just hired the nurses with no financial clearance, so we understand that the delay in posting is a result of that. As a result, we demand the prompt issuance of the financial clearance, the PRO said.
