The Coalition of Unemployed Private Nurses has served notice it will picket the Ministry of Health if its members are not financially cleared and posted by 17 July, 2017 to begin work.
The private nurses will be addressing the press today, Monday 10 July, about what they describe as unfair, inhumane, unjust, and discriminatory treatment meted out to their members by government on postings.
They have questioned why qualified nurses from private accredited health institutions have been denied employment for years and said they will picket since that gets results.
Speaking to Class News, the director of the coalition, Richmond Asomaning, said: “The problem here is that the Ministry of Health is failing to employ us or post us. We were supposed to be part of the last postings on Thursday but when the list came none of the private nurses was part. And when we went back to them, they said the same story again that ours will be the next clearance that will come.
“But we have been hearing that news over and over again and we don’t want to sit down for them to keep telling us those stories again. That is why we are organising a press conference to give them five working days after the press conference on 10 July and on 17 July if we don’t hear anything from them then we march to the Ministry of Health in our numbers. We are about 5000. We see the march as the traditional way of getting posted. If you don’t go there, you don’t get results, so we are also going to follow suit.”

Does it take braking down of mountain afadjato to train nurses in Ghana? mtecheewherh fa fri mi so wate, did anyone ask them to go to private nursing training?. I wont be surprise u are one of those with E and Fr results but didnt better it and rather took it to private nursing school, if u had a good results then y didnt u go to public nursing. nsemhunu u will forever stay home so better go find something to do
See who is speaking about private nurses are not qualified. Do you know how it takes to be train as a nurse in Ghana. Go back and ask .if your relative is part, you wouldnt speak this way
You guys should stop the noise making moate. Those from the public schools must be posted befroe those of u who took unqualified results to private nursing training and end up to give people over dosage of tratment to kill them. Just have patience as they said and you should know for good that they want to hand the public ones first before the private ones starts, i will even with these private nursing are closed for good so thent nursing trend will be like teacher training type cos most of the private ones dont qualify for the job just like some fee paying medicine students
