Over 1000 doctors unemployed – Minority

Member of Parliament for Dafiama/Bussie/Issa, Dr. Sandaare Sebastian has expressed worry over government’s inability to employ over 1,000 new doctors who finished their housemanship almost a year ago but have since remained home.

Dr Sandaare says the doctors may be forced to leave the shores of Ghana in search of greener pastures if no action is taken by the Government of Ghana to employ them.

He stated that this situation is unacceptable.

“They finish school and they are in the houses, So it is just to draw attention to government that it is not acceptable that as a country, we say that we cannot employ our doctors that have come out of training,” the member of the Health Committee of Parliament told journalists in Accra on Thursday September 1.

He added “Just yesterday, the Medical and Dental Council finished their three-day  programme of looking at 50 years of medical training in this county.

“After 50 years  of Medical and Dental Council’s existence we are still having doctors that are not employed.”
