The Government of Ghana has disbursed a total of GH₵462 million to cover six months of nursing trainees’ allowance for over 120,000 nursing students across the country.

The payment began on Thursday, July 17, 2025, and will continue through next Friday, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Health.

The move is part of the government’s broader agenda to ease the financial burden on nursing trainees and boost morale within the health training institutions.

Crucial support for future health professionals

The Ministry of Health described the payment as a vital step toward enhancing the welfare of nursing trainees and sustaining motivation among future health professionals.

It forms a key component of the government’s strategy to strengthen the healthcare sector by ensuring that those currently undergoing training are not hindered by financial difficulties.

“The allowance support is not just about stipends. It is a long-term investment in the resilience and capacity of our health system,” the statement noted.

Appreciation to President Mahama and stakeholders

Signed by Deputy Director and spokesperson Tony Goodman, the Ministry’s statement extended “profound appreciation” to President John Dramani Mahama for fulfilling his promise to nursing students.

It also acknowledged the roles played by various stakeholders in facilitating the timely release and disbursement of the funds.

The gesture, the Ministry emphasised, reinforces the President’s commitment to prioritising the needs of health trainees and improving the overall quality of healthcare delivery in Ghana.

Commitment to healthcare education

The Ministry reaffirmed its continued partnership with nursing and midwifery training institutions to ensure the delivery of quality education and practical training.

Officials say this effort is crucial in producing competent and dedicated healthcare professionals capable of meeting the needs of communities across the country.

By supporting students throughout their academic journey, the government hopes to address staffing shortages, reduce attrition, and ultimately boost the effectiveness of health services nationwide.

As the payment process continues over the next few days, students and administrators in nursing colleges are expressing relief and gratitude, viewing the allowance as a welcome boost during a difficult economic period.
