The National Health Students’ Association Of Ghana (NAHSAG) has described the idea by government to contract the services of some unemployed graduate nurses under the Nation Builders Corps programme, in a module called Heal Ghana as ‘’modern day slavery’’.
The Nation Builders Corp is a government programe designed to engage the services of unemployed young men and women in some key organizations in the public sector.
Launched by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday, May 1, the programme is expected to provide 100,000 job opportunities to unemployed graduates in the areas of health, education, information and technology, revenue mobilization and other key areas.
The Heal Ghana module of the initiative seeks to engage the services of graduate nurses on a three-year contract with a monthly stipend of GH¢700.
The National Health Students’ Association Of Ghana, however, say, “The unemployed health personnel need financial clearance and posting, and not a three-year employment contract that will further compound the challenges at the sector”.
The Association has thus announced it will on Monday, May 7 embark on “a massive demonstration exercise to be staged in the capital city of the country, Accra”.
The association has called on the Ghana Nursing and Midwives Trainees Association (GNMTA), Physician Assistant Students Association of Ghana (PASSAG), Private Universities Nurses Association of Ghana (PUNAG), University Nursing Students Association of Ghana (UNSAG), Federation of Ghana Medical Laboratory Sciences Students Association of Ghana (FG-MELSA), Collation of Private Unemployed Nurses (COPUN), Coalition of Degree Allied Health Professionals, Coalition of Unposted Allied Health Professionals and all concerned citizens to join the demonstration.
The demonstration as stated in their notice will start from Obra Spot (Kwame Nkrumah Circle) at 7:00am and end at the Hearts of Oak Park, where a petition will be presented to the Vice president, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.

F0000*ls present it to John Mahama , the Vice President has no hospital to employ you, go to John mahama to send you to Dubai! Why are the ndc who are advising you not helping you with something else? When did you get unemployed?I guess not a year ago so why didn't you demonstrate for the ndc to put you to their so called numerous hospitals they said they built? The help the Vice president can give you is what they have planned for unemployed graduates and diplomas so if you are too big for that wait for your ndc to create what you wish,if they had why not during their time but now ? Nation wreckers ndc surrogates. Stay home if you don't like that offer, what will this do stratiom and presenting your nons*nse to the Vice President do to you?
