The Government of Ghana has commenced payment of allowances owed to nursing trainees for the first half of 2025, covering the period from January to June.
The payments are being made retrospectively to clear a backlog of six months’ allowances. This initiative forms part of the government’s broader commitment to support healthcare training and ensure timely financial support for nursing students.
A check by LawsonMultimedia.com confirms that some nursing trainees have received their allowances.
To streamline the process and prevent future delays, a new automated disbursement system has been introduced. Officials say the system is designed to enhance efficiency and ensure consistency in allowance payments.
The Controller and Accountant General’s Department is handling the distribution of funds, with a focus on promoting transparency and accountability throughout the process.
The announcement has been met with widespread approval from nursing trainees and other stakeholders, who have long advocated for regular and reliable payment of allowances.
