Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, Minister of Health
The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has confirmed that an amount of GH¢462 million has been disbursed to support the training allowances of 120,000 nursing students across the country.
This payment, which covers a six-month period, forms part of a broader initiative by the government to provide financial support to students in Nursing Training Colleges.
The allowance, which was a key commitment made by President John Dramani Mahama during the 2024 election campaign, has now been fulfilled, with payments beginning today and continuing through to next Friday.
The Ministry views this development as a significant step in improving the welfare of nursing trainees and sustaining the motivation of future health professionals.
It further aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen the health sector by ensuring that critical human resources receive the necessary support throughout their training.
The Ministry extended its appreciation to President Mahama for fulfilling his promise to the nurses, as well as to all stakeholders involved in facilitating the timely release and distribution of the funds.
It also reiterated its commitment to working closely with nursing institutions to ensure the continued delivery of quality healthcare education across the country.
