Today, Tuesday, April 25, 2023, a group of unemployed physician assistants who graduated in 2020 are protesting outside the Ministry of Health.
The gang is requesting posting so they can get jobs.
They decided to picket today because their pleas for government officials to hire them when they graduate had gone unanswered for the past three years.
The health professionals claimed that their demonstration was essential because all prior attempts to persuade the government to post them to healthcare facilities had failed. They were holding placards with red arm bands and headbands.
After hearing the petition from the professionals on behalf of the sector minister, Isaac Offei Baah, PRO for the Health Ministry, noted that the Ministry only hires after gaining financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance.
“The Ministry makes recruiting based on clearance that we obtain from the Finance Ministry, so when we have the clearance, we’ll open the portal and then we’ll allow them to apply,” the spokesperson said.
In the future, as we communicate, “we pray that we will be able to make things easier,” Mr. Offei Baah continued. “We understand the dissatisfaction they [the physician assistants] are displaying right now.
