Unemployed graduate nurses and midwives threaten demo over posting delays

The Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association says it will stage a protest over what it describes as the government’s prolonged delay in posting its members, some of whom have been home for up to five years.

A planned demonstration for this week was called off after the association was unable to finalise security arrangements with the Greater Accra Regional Police Command.

Frustration among the graduates continues to mount.

In an interview with Citi News on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Gamal Osman, who completed his training in 2021, said the long wait has left many struggling to cope.

“I have been in the house for four years. I completed school in 2021. We are all stranded. Remember, completing school and depending on someone is not easy. How to even buy water is not easy,” he said.

The association insists it will continue to pursue all lawful avenues to demand the posting of its members until government takes action.
