Health Ministry processes pharmacist salaries, promises interns payment


The Health Ministry says it has successfully processed salaries for 321 Pharmacist House Officers who completed their housemanship in 2024.

This, it notes, is a significant step toward addressing outstanding financial obligations within the sector.

The Ministry also acknowledges concerns raised by the 2024 batch of Rotation Nurses and Allied Health Interns who began their rotations in May 2024 and completed them in May 2025, but have not received their salaries.

It attributes the delay to the inability of the previous government to secure the necessary financial clearance before the interns started work.

According to the Ministry, it is actively working with relevant government agencies to prioritise and expedite the clearance process to ensure the timely disbursement of all outstanding salaries.

“This effort reflects the Ministry’s broader commitment to resolving salary arrears across all health worker categories and ensuring that every qualified professional is supported in delivering essential healthcare services to Ghanaians.”

“We wish to reassure all affected Rotation Nurses and Allied Health Interns that their concerns are being addressed as a matter of urgency,” it said, adding that steps are being taken to implement a sustainable system that prevents such delays in the future.
