The Ministry of Health has announced the successful processing of salaries for 321 Pharmacist House Officers who completed their housemanship in 2024, marking what it calls a “significant step” toward addressing legacy salary arrears in Ghana’s health sector.
In an official statement, the ministry confirmed that the payments had been finalised, describing the move as part of a broader effort to meet financial obligations to frontline health professionals.
However, the ministry also addressed mounting concerns from the 2024 batch of rotation nurses and allied health interns, who completed their one-year mandatory rotation in May 2025 but remain unpaid months after finishing their service.
The ministry attributed the delay to the failure of the previous administration to secure financial clearance for the interns prior to their deployment.
Officials say urgent steps are now underway to collaborate with relevant government agencies to expedite the clearance process and facilitate the release of all outstanding payments.
“This effort reflects the Ministry’s broader commitment to resolving salary arrears across all health worker categories and ensuring that every qualified professional is supported in delivering essential healthcare services to Ghanaians,” the statement read.
The Ministry also pledged to establish a more sustainable salary disbursement framework to prevent future occurrences, assuring affected interns that their plight is being treated with the urgency it deserves.
