Some of the angry nurses said they are demanding to be posted immediately. “We want to work. We brought our bed. We are not going anywhere,” said one of the nurses.
Another also said “We can’t wait anymore! We want our posting,” added another, asking “why are we not part of Ghana?”
“We are hungry…why? What wrong have we done to you?”
Meanwhile the Director at the Ministry of Health, Dr Afisah Zakaria said they had told the nurses to channel their grievances through the appropriate quarters. She added that the ministry needs to verify if all the protesting nurses are actually nurses.
