The Ministry of Health Ghana has announced the commencement of a nationwide validation and posting process for qualified health professionals, as part of efforts to recruit and deploy personnel across the country’s healthcare system.
In an official notice issued on April 15, 2026, the Ministry said all prospective applicants are required to verify their eligibility through its online recruitment portal before proceeding with the posting process.
The exercise is expected to streamline recruitment while ensuring that only duly certified professionals are engaged.
According to the Ministry, applicants must visit the official recruitment website, verify.mohrecruitment.com, and validate their status using their verified Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Index Number.
The validation process, officials say, will help determine whether candidates are in good standing with their respective professional councils.
“This process will enable applicants to know whether or not they are in good standing with their respective council,” the statement noted, emphasizing the importance of compliance to avoid delays or disqualification.
The Ministry has outlined a detailed rollout plan spanning several weeks, beginning with PIN verification from April 16 to April 20. This will be followed by specific recruitment windows for different professional groups.
Pharmacists, pharmaceutical technicians, physician assistants, and community health-related applicants are scheduled for processing between April 22 and April 25. Allied health professionals will undergo their phase from April 27 to May 1.
Nurses and midwives who form a critical component of the health workforce, will have a longer window from May 4 to May 15. The Ministry indicated that priority will be given to the 2021 batch of trained nurses and midwives, signaling a targeted approach to clearing backlogs in postings.
The exercise will then shift focus to regional allocations, with designated dates for various parts of the country. The Upper East and Upper West Regions are scheduled for May 4–5, followed by the Savannah and North East Regions on May 6–7.
Applicants from the Oti and Bono East Regions will be processed on May 8–9, while those from the Western North and Ahafo Regions are set for May 10–11.
Further regional postings will take place on a single-day basis, including the Volta and Northern Regions on May 12, Central and Western Regions on May 13, and Bono and Ashanti Regions on May 14. The final phase will cover the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions on May 15.
The Ministry has urged applicants to strictly adhere to the timelines provided, cautioning that failure to comply could disrupt the recruitment process.
The validation and posting initiative forms part of broader efforts by the government to address staffing gaps in health facilities, improve service delivery, and enhance access to quality healthcare across Ghana.
