20% salary increase for health, education workers in deprived areas – Mahama pledges

President John Mahama says the government is working on a policy to provide a 20% incentive on basic salaries for educational and health workers who accept postings to deprived and underserved districts.

And for educational workers and health workers, those who accept postings to deprived and underserved areas, we are going to give 20% of basic salary as an incentive,” President Mahama said.“So that process has started, and once we sign off on it, for those who come to underserved areas, you get another 20% of basic salary as an incentive for accepting postings,” he said.
