Medical officers refuse postings to North East Region – Health Director cries
Dr Godfred Kwabena Sarpong, the North East Regional Director of the Ghana Health Service, has expressed concern over the continuous refusal of medical officers to accept postings to the region. He described the situation as a major threat to healthcare delivery and the attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and disclosed that out of 19 medical officers posted to the region in 2025, only three accepted their postings, leaving critical gaps in service delivery.
