Tina Gifty Naa Ayeley Mensah, the Deputy Minister for Health and Head of Health Training Institutions, has stated that preparations for the payment of nursing students’ allowances were well on.

According to Mrs. Mensah, the Ministry of Finance has taken sufficient steps to ensure that students receive the allowances they need to pursue high-quality education so that they can provide the public with high-quality health care.

She assured the public that the government’s promotion of necessary health services was a top priority and that it would keep training additional health experts to meet the demand.

Krobo Nursing and Midwifery Training College is located near Techiman in the Bono East Region. During the 11th and 12th matriculations and first graduation ceremony, the minister of the sector made the assurance.

She assured students that their allowances would never be cut, saying that the government would rather owe them money because it would pay on time. She asked the students to keep calm and concentrate on their academics as the government and its partners worked to pay the money.

The government’s desire to enlist the services of all graduates to contribute their quota to nation-building was explained by Mrs. Mensah, who went on to reaffirm that the government was committed to finding opportunities for nursing graduates.

She explained that this was due to his concern for the unemployed medical professionals and his efforts to establish opportunities that could accommodate them.

She elaborated on how the health sector was receiving a lot of focus for reform in order to provide the people with the health services they required, and how important health was for the nation’s development.

The Minister of the Bono East Regional, Mr. Kwasi Adu-Gyan, urged the granduants to look within for the moral and ethical guidance they need to become respectable and conscientious medical practitioners.

He urged the graduates to be truthful, dedicated, selfless, and value human life in their pursuit of providing healthcare to the public, saying that their training should inform whatever they do.
