D house officers have refuted claims by a spokesperson of the New Patriotic Party\u2019s manifesto committee that they have been paid their outstanding arrears of 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ekua Amoakoh, who was speaking on Accra-based GhOne TV, asserted that the government has paid the arrears owed to the pharmacists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the leadership of the 2022 Pharm. D house officers say they have not been paid the allowance due to them despite completing their one-year mandatory housemanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Amoakoh had also in an X space post argued that the pharmacists were paid in August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Pharm. D house officers portend the amount in question was rather disbursed to another category of pharmacists who were senior colleagues and not them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe clarify that, contrary to these statements, we have not received our unpaid allowances or any other form of compensation for our completed housemanship. The funds we are due are not discretionary allowances but are essential, legally mandated compensation akin to a salary,\u201d they said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The over 300 health professionals have for some months now demanded payments of their allowances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These payments are earned through the rigorous, full-time professional duties we undertook in service to the healthcare system across Ghana, providing critical roles in medication therapy management, patient education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and antimicrobial stewardship, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group is demanding that the government through the Ministry of Health trigger the release of their funds while admonishing government representatives to abstain from misrepresenting the issue at hand.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 Pharm.
