Rotational Nurses Demand Rectification, Payment Of 12 Months Allowance

Spread the love

The Ghana-Nurse-Midwife Trainees Association (GNMTA) is demanding a rectification and payment of 12 months unpaid allowances owed to rotational nurses and midwives.

GNMTA which is a mother organisation of the rotational nurses, in a statement dated Sunday, September 29, indicated that the government is yet to pay the affected nurses and midwives despite having been at post in the past year.

“The Ghana-Nurse-Midwife Trainees Association (GNMTA) wishes to address a pressing issue concerning the unpaid allowances of our Rotational Nurses and Midwives. For over a year now, our nursing and midwifery interns, who have diligently completed their mandatory one-year service, have not received their due allowances. This delay in disbursement has caused significant financial strain and emotional distress among our members,” GNMTA’s statement read in part.

It also clarified that in spite of the increase of the allowances on two occasions between September 2022 and 2023, some interns began receiving their payments, amounting to GH¢9000 for 12 months, which figure averages GH¢750 per month instead of the expected GH¢1393.93.

GNMTA is therefore calling on the Ministry of Health, the Ghana Health Service, and the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department to:

1. Address and rectify the discrepancies in the allowance disbursements without further delay.

2. Ensure that the correct amounts, as stipulated in the SSSS document, are paid to the interns, including any arrears owed from the past year and,

3. Provide clear and transparent communication regarding the allowance structure and any future changes to avoid confusion and unrest among our members.
