New Year also looks bleak for unpaid nurse

As another major holiday draws near, Verney Benjamin, a nurse employed at the Kumaka District Hospital in Region One who has been unpaid for 9 months, is still hoping that she will be paid soon following renewed promises from the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Last week Benjamin spoke with this publication and explained her plight. Since the story’s publication, she said, she has been contacted by several persons, including from the MOH.
