The Coalition of Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association is calling the overnment to post nurses and midwives who completed school in 2019 to start work or the government should take their certificate back and refund their fees paid in school to them, Harriet Appiah Kubi the Secretary for the Coalition of Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association said this on Plan B fm morning show Nkosuonsem when speaking with Ohene Addo.
She explained that during the final exams of the 2019 batch some of the students were sick, others were owing fees and some couldn’t get all their papers and be referred all the referrals had a successful outcome but they are still in the house doing nothing making them a burden to their various families as all their family resources were used in taking care of them she stressed.
The Coalition of Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association today, Tuesday, May 17, 2022, hit the streets to register their displeasure over the government’s failure to give clearance to some of its members who completed school in 2019.
The group says the Ministry of Health and Finance granted
financial clearance to the 2019 batch in October 2020, but excluded the referral nurses.
The unemployed nurses marched through some principal streets in Accra and headed to the Ministry of Health to submit their petition.
“The government and the Ministry of Health have treated us unfairly. We completed school in 2019, but when the results came out, they said we had failed some courses, so we went back to re-write the papers. We started national service in 2020 and completed the following year”, said the spokesperson for the Association, “When we were almost through with our rotation, we heard that the portal had been opened for some of our colleagues; we went to the HR who told us that, we shouldn’t worry, but these people are cheating us. How can juniors be working with seniors being in the house.”
