Over 19,000 Allied Health graduates who have passed their licensure examinations and are certified by the Health Professionals Council are yet to be employed.
The Allied Health Professions Council expressed concern about their graduates’ unemployment rates.
The council accuses the government of discrimination in its recruitment of health professionals in the country.
According to the Acting Registrar of the Allied Health Professions Council, Mr. Daniel Atta-Nyarko, the council, respectfully advocates for equity and fairness in recruitment so that their graduates can be proud of their professions and provide the best services possible.
The Council is concerned about the growing number of trainees who lack comparable employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
The Allied Health Professions Council has asked the government to collaborate with the council in streamlining the number of trainees to ensure quality training for quality service delivery.
Mr. Daniel Atta-Nyarko revealed this to Uniquenewgh News during the council’s Induction and Oath Swearing Ceremony for Allied Health Graduates in Kumasi.
The council inducted 3,500 graduates from colleges of health and universities across the country.
