Unposted Environmental Health Officers and Assistants of Ghana Demand Immediate Posting, We are Set to Picket if Ignored

 




Press Release


Date: 21st August 2024


For Immediate Release


Accra, Ghana —




We  the Unposted Environmental Health Officers and Assistants Association of Ghana expresses our profound disappointment and frustration over the continuous neglect by the government in posting all qualified Environmental Health Officers and Assistants since 2021 till date which consists of four batches ( 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively) with over two thousand graduates now.


We have observed with dismay the recent clearance and posting of teachers and nurses. While we commend these initiatives, we cannot overlook the glaring omission of postings for Environmental Health Officers and Assistants, who play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation's public health.


Despite numerous assurances and promises from the government, our members remain unemployed, leading to growing environmental health challenges that require immediate attention. The neglect towards our profession has resulted in increased environmental degradation, poor sanitation, and escalating public health hazards.




This disparity and neglect are unacceptable. Therefore, we call on the government to give us clearance and employ all qualified Environmental Health Officers and Assistants immediately. We are issuing a two-week ultimatum for the government to act, or we will be compelled to picket at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ministry of Water and Sanitation, and Ministry of Finance.


Our commitment to improving the nation's environmental health is unwavering, and we stand united in our demand for immediate action. We urge the government to recognize the critical importance of our profession and to ensure that we are utilized effectively to protect public health.
