The Ghana Nurses and Midwives Association says it will continue to encourage its members who are yet to be absorbed into the mainstream health sector not to register for the Heal Ghana Module under the government’s Nation Builders Corp (NABCO) programme.

The President of the association, Dr. Kwaku Asante Krobea who announced this on Radio Ghana’s “Behind the News” on Monday indicates the module is not only inappropriate but pure injustice.

He notes a major flaw of the Heal Ghana Module is the unclear specification of the terms of the conditions of service for nurses as required. He says this will put those who enroll onto the programme in a position that will go against their interest.
