“Management further directs all deployed nurses to begin their mandatory national service on Monday, July 3, 2023 after completion of their validation and registration process.”

The National Service has remained an important experience gaining ground for all tertiary graduates in Ghana, and also a prerequisite for gaining employment in both public and private firms in Ghana.
It remains a serious crime to avoid undergoing the service, and companies that employ graduates who have not completed their national service stand the chance of being charged penalties (fined) by the service for failing to comply with the directives of the service.
Candidates who intend to avoid the service should note that that will make it very difficult for them to secure jobs in the future. They are advised to take advantage of the opportunity and embark on this all-important experience gaining and learning experience national calling.
