GHANA is set to send trained nurses to the Caribbean nation of Grenada to support its public health system.
This comes as part of efforts to assist Grenada in tackling a critical shortage of nurses and healthcare professionals.
The initiative falls under Ghana’s Work Abroad Programme, which connects skilled Ghanaian professionals with employment opportunities in other countries. The programme aims to reduce unemployment at home while offering global exposure and income opportunities for Ghanaian workers.
The announcement was made during the first-ever Ghana–Grenada political consultations held in Accra. The high-level meeting was led by Grenada’s Prime Minister, Dickon Mitchell, who is currently in Ghana for a three-day official visit.
Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Mitchell said Grenada’s health sector is under pressure due to a lack of nurses, describing it as “one of the country’s most urgent challenges.”
He welcomed the partnership with Ghana, expressing optimism that the deployment of nurses will help strengthen healthcare delivery in Grenada.
The move is expected to deepen bilateral ties between Ghana and Grenada and create new pathways for cooperation in healthcare, education, and labour mobility.
