The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare, has backed\u00a0calls for bonding of trainee nurses by government to be scrapped.<\/p>\n
Nurses trained in public health institutions are required to work for the government for a specified amount of time, after they graduate, before they are allowed to seek employment with any other employer.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”K6iBQvOtCNFcMG8C3zpUilnzidLmflvh”]This system has been widely criticized as it has led to many nurses having to remain at home after they graduate, due to the limited employment opportunities in state health institutions.<\/p>\n
This has led to numerous demonstrations by the nurses and other health professionals who agitate for placements in health institutions after leaving training school.<\/p>\n
