GH₵150 allowance better than none,Trainee Nurse Association

Ghana Nurses and Midwife Trainees’ Association (GNMTA) has denied reports saying student nurses and midwives should reject the GH₵150 monthly allowance promised by the government.
A statement signed by the body's President, Akazee Godwin Asabire described the report as untrue and has urged Ghanaians to be wary of such claims.


“GNMTA, therefore, wants to distance itself from such a political statement and admonish all Trainee Nurses and Midwives to stay calm and Resolute as GNMTA negotiates with the Ministry and Relevant stakeholders to get our issues resolved,” he said.

Facebook on Friday was flooded with news of Trainee Nurses and Midwives rejecting an offer of GH₵150 given by the government for their monthly allowance.
The message comes barely 24 hours after the Health Ministry announced on Thursday that it plans to pay at least over 34,000 trainee nurses and midwives in the country Gh₵150 a month after the allowance was scrapped by the government due to lack of funds.
