  That is the ultimate result when we refuse to think outside
  the box. Whoever fixed the retirement age at 60 did it for a reason BUT to think that it will be easy to replace experience and competence with age then one must be living in another world. Look at what is happening with the education sector. We now even have an association of ONLT graduate teachers but the results continue plummeting and the association always crying for more benefits. Unfortunately gone are the days when teachers were paid based on results (payment-by-results). Most of these NAGRAT members would have been unemployed
  Midwives will not be easy to replace any time soon.

  Ben sees his mother walk out of the shower and sees her vagina.
  
  He asks her what it is and she embarrassed replies, "Oh, that's mommy's black sponge."
  
  A few days later, Ben spills a glass of milk on the floor and says, "Mommy, I need your black sponge to mop up the milk!"
  
  She replies, "I lost it, honey."
  
  A couple of days later, he comes running up to her and says, "Mommy, I found your black sponge!" Mystified, she says, "Where, honey?"
  
  Ben says, "It's over at Miss Mensah the Midwives house, and Daddy's washing his face in it!

  THE THIEVING AND DEMONIC NDC HAS TOTALLY DESTROYED GHANA'S HEALTH SECTOR. POST RETIREMENT CONTRACT IN THE HEALTH SECTOR EXISTED IN THIS COUNTRY BUT THIS DEMONIC AND NATION WRECKING NDC HAS SILENTLY CANCELLED IT AND NOW THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SADDLED WITH. THE NDC IS STEALING THE MONIES TO BE USED TI PAY THESE RETIRED DOCTORS AND MIDWIVES ARE BEING USED TO RE-BRANDING BUSES WITH THE THIEVING, PROMISCUOUS AND FORNICATING MAHAMA'S COLORED PICTURES. STILL SOME FOOLISH GHANAIANS ARE GOING FOR THIS THIEVING MAHAMA/NDC GOVERNMENT BECAUSE HANNA BISIU, FOR INSTANCE DISTRIBUTES PACKS OF MATHES FOR RURAL PEOPLE. HOW FOOLISH MANY GHANAIANS ARE.

  Unnecessary alarm. The ministry has established not less than thirty midwifery training schools to solve this problem. Not less than 1,500 midwives will be turned out by next year. This will progressively increase to abt 2500 per year in the next two years. We may loose their experience but they will not leave any void in the health delivery system.

  You seem to have information that appears to contradict what Dr Appiah Denkyirah suggets. Why try to retain the 500 if you are indeed producing so many. The midwife patient ratio quoted is tragic
  Lets get our act together
