The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has given trainee nurses the assurance that the Agenda 111 project and closed hospitals will be finished during his future administration, resulting in job possibilities.
Speaking to trainee nurses on Saturday, Mr. Mahama emphasized his dedication to tackling the issues facing Ghanaian healthcare workers and enhancing the country’s healthcare infrastructure.
Mahama emphasized how critical it is to finish these projects in order to guarantee that healthcare facilities are available and within reach of every Ghanaian.
Not only would the building of these facilities improve healthcare services, but they would also give aspiring nurses and other healthcare professionals much-needed employment opportunities.
“We know the problems with trainee nurses and that is why when we were in government, we said we were going to substitute your allowance with the students’ loan and that is because we wanted to create more employment for you. What is important for you is not the allowance it is to get a job when you finish school.
“But somebody came and said he will pay the allowances. Unfortunately, it was 419…Come and pay the nurses you owe them almost 30 months of arrears. Some of them have left school without receiving their allowances and some of them are going to leave school again without receiving their allowances but one thing I can assure you is that it is about jobs and NDC is committed to jobs so we are going to create the situation where we can employ as many of you as possible.”
“I make you a commitment when I come the hospitals we were building that have been abandoned by this government we will continue them. When I come, the agenda 111 hospitals, they are building I will continue and finish them so that we can create more space to be able to absorb all of you when you finish school. This election is between Ghana and NPP,” he stated.
