Unemployed Graduate Nurses and Midwives Association honours Ministry of Health's director

The 2020 batch of the Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association has honoured the Chief Director of Ministry of Health, Alhaji Hafiz Adam.

The recognition, announced on August 11, 2024, through the Ministry of Health's social media channels, commended Alhaji Hafiz Adam for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the health sector.

The citation highlighted the Chief Director's significant contributions towards advancing healthcare in Ghana, fostering a healthier and more resilient society.

However, the incident has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many users jesting about the recognition.

@callme_Rashad inquired, "Graduate unemployed nurses did what?".

@alomolion22 also jested, "I don't see anything wrong with them presenting a citation to the man. The 2021 and 2022 batch might present him a car".
