Ministry of Health warns prospective students to be wary of fraudsters

Accra, July 26, GNA - The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Saturday cautioned the public not to pay money to any persons claiming that they could assist prospective students to gain admission into the Ministry's health training institutions. A statement signed by Dan Osman Mwin, Head of Public Relations at MOH, said it had come to the notice of the Ministry that some unscrupulous persons were going around collecting between GHc500 and GH1,000 from prospective students.

"The Ministry of Health wishes to state clearly that it has not authorized any individual or group of people to assist prospective students or recruit them for admission into its training institutions," the statement reiterated. The Ministry said admissions into its training institutions were based purely on the required qualifications and excellent performance at the selection interviews conducted to shortlist candidates and nothing else. It asked the public to report any such unscrupulous person to the nearest Police station or security agency.
