The Ghanaian government and the British government will soon reach a bilateral agreement to send nurses with Ghanaian training to the UK in exchange for financial benefits, according to Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu.
This will be similar to an existing agreement with Barbados, where he claimed Ghanaian nurses thrive, according to Mr. Agyemang Manu.
The lawmaker for Dormaa Central made this known on Monday, December 5, on the Floor of Parliament during the 2023 Budget debate.
“We are engaging with the government of the United Kingdom, and we are just about to sign a memorandum of the agreement after cabinet approval to begin to send nurses for training and work there and come back home after three years.
“Ghana will benefit from the little money the UK government will pass on. For every single nurse that goes away, when we finish the agreement, we will likely get over 1000 pounds to come and support the health system in Ghana. ”
In March, Barbados welcomed 200 additional Ghanaian nurses to help with the island nation’s workforce requirements.
