Mrs. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, the President of Ghana Registered Nurses' and Midwives' Association in an interview on Accra-based 3FM said the government must increase the salaries of the health professionals to retain the workers in the country.
She said "The truth of the matter is that migration is a right, a person can move anywhere to go and work. So let’s increase salaries, improve conditions of work and let’s provide the requisite allowances people need to be comfortable to work here."
