Koforidua, Sept. 12, GNA – The Ministry of Health is to employ 5,400 health workers this year, despite the constraints facing the Ministry.
This was disclosed by the Director of Human Resource of the Ministry, Dr Ebenezer Appiah-Denkyirah, at a send-off party organized for him and four other staff, who were retiring from the Ministry by the Eastern Regional Secretariat of the Ghana Health Service in Koforidua on Thursday.
