This payment, which covers six months, forms part of a broader initiative by the government to provide financial support to students in Nursing Training Colleges.

In a statement sighted by Citi News on Thursday, July 17, the Ministry noted that the allowance, which was a key commitment made by President John Dramani Mahama during the recent electioneering campaign, has now been fulfilled.

“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 needed support throughout their training.”

“The Ministry extends its appreciation to the president of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for fulfilling his promise to the nurses, as well as all other stakeholders involved in facilitating the timely release and distribution of the funds.”

The Ministry reiterated its commitment to working closely with nursing institutions to ensure the continued delivery of quality healthcare education across the country.
