The Ghana Health Ministry has announced that over 6,000 newly recruited nurses have received their salaries, completing the payment process for the entire cohort of 13,500 nurses recruited nationwide. The Ministry also assured that all outstanding administrative matters related to the recruitment process are being addressed.
The payment is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen the healthcare workforce and improve the delivery of quality healthcare services across the country. The Ministry has also called on newly posted medical officers to report to their designated duty stations by December 12, 2025, to support the equitable distribution of health professionals.
The Ministry emphasised that the postings are not punitive but are essential for achieving fair and balanced deployment of health professionals. Families and relatives of newly posted officers are encouraged to support them as they settle into their assignments, particularly in underserved areas.
In a statement signed by Tony Goodman, Head of Health Training Institutions and spokesperson for the Ministry, on December 3, 2025, the Ministry reiterated its commitment to providing incentives, in line with its Human Resource Posting Guidelines, to attract and retain medical officers in rural and underserved areas.
Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) are also called upon to assist by offering accommodations, transport support, and other basic amenities.
The Ministry further clarified that no changes will be made to the recent postings and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Ghana’s health workforce and ensuring equitable delivery of quality healthcare services nationwide.
