In recent years, many young Ghanaians have been leaving the country in search of better opportunities due to economic hardships.
Among those making the move are numerous nurses who are relocating abroad for a brighter future.
This trend was recently highlighted in a video featuring popular YouTuber Wode Maya, who met a group of Ghanaian nurses at the airport.
Wode Maya, known for his insightful coverage of African issues, met with these nurses as they prepared to leave Ghana.
In their brief exchange, the nurses voiced their frustration and disappointment with the current state of affairs in Ghana.
They pointed to the economic instability, lack of job placements, and inadequate support from the government as key reasons for their decision to relocate.
One nurse succinctly expressed the sentiment of the group: “We are moving to London forever and ever. Ghana has collapsed. The president has failed to assign us to any facilities after school. We have not been assigned for four years now.”
Wode Maya also asked how they managed to secure the opportunity to leave, and they all replied, “We did it ourselves.”
The YouTuber briefly shared his thoughts about the development, “I believe the government needs to take action because this is brain drain.”
In response, one of the nurses said, “I’m certain the healthcare system in Ghana is on the verge of collapse in the next five years.”
