flag Ghana will remove unassigned doctors from payroll by Feb 28, 2026, to boost rural healthcare access.

flag Ghana's Health Minister has announced that newly recruited doctors who do not report to their assigned rural postings by February 28, 2026, will be removed from the government payroll. flag The move aims to address severe healthcare worker shortages in underserved regions, where many doctors have failed to report despite incentives like a 20% rural allowance and housing support. flag The government has also allocated GH¢600 million for new regional hospitals and is expanding infrastructure to improve rural healthcare access. flag A new partnership between Academic City University Ghana and the American University of Antigua College of Medicine offers qualified students a guaranteed pathway to medical training, including scholarships and waived fees, to help alleviate the national doctor shortage.
