Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo has reassured trainee nurses that the government's efforts are focused on avoiding delays in the payment of their allowances.

Speaking at the Korle-Bu Nursing and Midwifery Training College in the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Prempeh emphasized the NPP’s dedication to sustaining the allowances, which were previously scrapped by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

While acknowledging occasional delays in the payments, he stressed that these delays are far more preferable than the complete cancellation experienced under the NDC government.

"There may be delays, but allowances delayed are better than allowances cancelled," Dr. Prempeh noted.

Dr. Prempeh also underscored the importance of nursing students to the country’s healthcare system and highlighted the NPP’s broader policies aimed at enhancing their welfare and career prospects.

In response, the students voiced their recognition of the significance of their votes in the upcoming December 7 elections, expressing support for the NPP’s initiatives, including the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme, which they believe will have a lasting positive impact on future generations.
