Government has finally given financial clearance to about 495 members of the Coalition of Unposted Allied Health professionals.
The group had spent Monday night at the Health Ministry sleeping on bare floor and benches as they accused the government of showing bad faith in addressing their concerns.
According to the group, the Ministry of Health has continuously failed to recruit them after the completion of their national service in August 2016.
All assurances by government represented by deputy Health Minister, Tina Mensah on Monday that their issues would be addressed as soon as possible fell on deaf ears.
The group who continued their protest at the ministry burst into excitement Tuesday evening when the deputy minister emerged with documents proving that the Finance Minister has cleared them for posting.
The jubilant health workers ended their protest immediately and disappeared from the ministry with their luggage that they brought to the ministry bent on securing this victory.
An executive member of the Coalition of Unposted Allied Health Professionals told TV3 they are excited the government has kept to its words this time after several disappointments.
He was grateful to the deputy Health Minister.

Pls some of us who were already nurses n went to persue an allied health course ve been working for de past one year without salary.always when we go to the region and ask all they tell us is labour commission said they should wait for their approval pls what do we do now
Very soon another group in the health will also picket at the ministry. This is the worst and the mess NDC left for Nana Addo. The ndc will not even feel shy but will walk from radio to radio to talk abt these issue. The credibility ndc had lost in the eyes of the pple is fast depreciating n will die off bf 2020 elections if they continue to be this HYPOCTITICAL. Thank you nana n npp for listening to the cry of these unposted nurses. Another caution is that, these pple shd accept any facility they are posted to go n help the pple there not to be looking for better facilities.
