According to the minister, none of the other doctors have even been to the region, a situation that gives him great worry. One came to do a tour of some health facilities, and on her return to Accra, that was the end of it,” he said. “We went to the Minister of Health to make inquiries and the assurance was that they will not repost them. They will insist they come to the North East Region, but if they so decide that they were not going to serve in the public sector, there was little they could do,” he said.
