He made the remark at the National Forum on the sustainability of the Single Spine Pay Policy (SSPP) in Ho on Tuesday. He said the salaries of medical doctors should be graduated in favour of those working in the rural areas. Dr Nuertey said medical doctors in the rural areas are under constant pressure to serve several thousands of patients daily, without any respite. He said the doctors also face a number of disadvantages and challenges because of where they engage their services. Dr Nuertey said the practice of paying allowances to trainees in health training institutions including medical students should be stopped. He said the students should rather be encouraged to take loans to meet their financial commitments.
