Unemployed private nurses say they will address the press on Monday July 10, 2017, on the "despicable treatment" being meted out to them as they search for job in government hospitals.

Working the under umbrella name, "Coalition of Unemployed Private Nurses (COUPN)," the nurses say they are being denied postings to work in state hospitals.

In a statement jointly signed by the group's Secretay and Director, COUPN has accused the Ministry of Health of " unfair, inhumane, injustice and despicable treatment."

The group argues that it members are Ghanaians and "are entitled to equal share of the national cake."

COUPN at the press conference will outline a roadmap for further action if the government fails to address their concerns, the statement said.
