The Coalition of unposted Allied Health professionals on Monday besieged the Ministry of Health demanding immediate financial clearance.
According to the group, the Ministry of Health has continuously failed to recruit them after the completion of their national service in August 2016.
The situation, they say has left them unemployed and distraught for 9 months after completion of their programmes of study.
On May 8, 2017, graduates from the Allied Health Professional besieged the Ministry of Health to demand posting, claiming that government had refused to issue clearance letters to them.
According to them, during their protest on May 8 the ministry assured them that in two weeks the issue would be tackled and clearance letters issued but they failed to keep their end of the bargain.
President of the Allied Health Professionals, Solomon Yeboah described the Ministry’s stance as an act of negligence and nonchalance adding that the latter is looking down on them since they have continuously failed to address their pertinent issue of clearance for posting.
“We are back at the Ministry after the Deputy Minister for Health, Tina Mensah gave us two weeks assurance but failed to fulfil it; the ministry is unfair to us, the Allied Health Professionals,” he noted.
“We are here to fight for justice; our colleagues that we were supposed to receive clearance with have been cleared and we have been left behind, the Ministry has looked down on us. If we are not given our financial clearance, we will march straight to the Flagstaff House,” he added.
The graduates have threatened to picket at the Flagstaff House if the Ministry of Health fails to address their posting
