In his recent state of the nation address, President Nana Akufo-Addo indicated that financial clearance had been released for some 22,000 nurses but the private nurses insisted that the government has excluded them from any employment arrangements. The irate nurses have subsequently given the government a 10-day ultimatum for appropriate responses to their situation or else they will embark on a series of demonstrations across the country. Hundreds of trained nurses from private institutions besieged the premises of the Ministry of Health (MOH) in 2017 over the same issues. They defied the presence of the police, forced their way into the ministry and brought business to a temporary halt.
