Spokesperson for the group, Nutakor Selassi Hilarry has said that “It is totally unacceptable when we have over 2,000 qualified health professionals sitting at home while the nurse to patient ratio in the country is 1:22 as compared to the WHO standard of 1:3.”

According to the aggrieved nurses, various petitions they have sent to the Ministry of Health over the years are yet to yield results.
They have therefore decided to petition President John Mahama on February 29, 2016 if the Health Minister does not respond immediately to their demands for postings.
