Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh promised consistent payments for nursing student allowances during the Government Accountability Series on July 18. Student demonstrations and complaints about delayed payments have persisted for years under previous administrations. Many trainees finished their programs without receiving any financial support from the government. The Mahama administration released six months of overdue allowances to address these longstanding issues. Officials plan to maintain this payment schedule moving forward.
The Health Ministry distributed GHS 462 million to support 120,000 nursing students across Ghana. Payment processing started on July 17 and continues through the following Friday. This disbursement represents a major campaign pledge that President Mahama made to healthcare workers. The initiative provides financial relief to students attending nursing training colleges nationwide. Ministry officials view this intervention as essential for strengthening Ghana's health sector by supporting future medical professionals during their education.
