Junior Nurses and Midwives in the country will embark on a protest march on Thursday to back their demands for the payment of their long standing salary areas.

They claim they have not been paid allowances since they graduated in December 2010. The young Nurses and Midwives say several petitions to the Ministry of Health in that regard have yielded no results.

The Group will therefore put its services on hold beginning Thursday. They will march to the Castle to present a petition to the President.

The Ashanti Regional Coordinator of the Group, Mathew Alfred Owusu told XYZ News many members of the group have been depending on student allowances since completion in 2010.

“We are supposed to get the past nurses salary. Salaries given to nurses that has accumulated and are supposed to be given to those who completed in 2010,” he explained.
