BackgroundMembers of the Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association on Monday, 21 October 2019 picketed at the Ministry of Health (MoH) to demand their immediate employment. He said the government was still working to absorb a number of unemployed nurses. Mr Abban said the embargo on public sector jobs that existed prior to the NPP’s coming into office was largely to blame for the backlog of unemployed health professionals. And for that reason, from 2012 to 2016 not a single soul from within the health sector working group was employed.”
