Financial Clearance Secured For Nearly 15,000 Rotation Nurses, Midwives And Medical House Officers
The Ministry of Health has announced that it has secured financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance to pay allowances and salaries for 14,279 rotation nurses and midwives, as well as 637 medical and dental house officers.
The clearance comes after “sustained engagements between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance to ensure that newly trained health professionals are duly supported as they undertake their mandatory service and professional training”, according to Tony Goodman, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health.
The approval covers key nursing cadres, including registered general nurses, registered midwives, registered mental health nurses, registered community health nurses, and registered public health nurses, who started their rotation last year and are due to complete it this year.

In addition, the clearance will allow the payment of salaries for 637 medical and dental house officers who “graduated from various public and private institutions, successfully passed the medical and dental council examinations, and were inducted into service on 12th November 2025″.
The ministry noted that these approvals will address all payment backlogs from previous years and pave the way for a new policy ensuring monthly payments of allowances for all health professional cadres, instead of the previous practice of paying accrued amounts at the end of service. This policy will apply to nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to supporting health workers, stating it will “continue collaborating closely with the Ministry of Finance and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that health workers are sufficiently supported in delivering quality healthcare services to the people of Ghana.”
