More than 20,000 allied health graduates are fuming with frustration and have pledged to vote against the incumbent NPP administration in the next elections.
They are all upset about the continuous hold-up in getting their practice clearance, which they explicitly blame on the government's inaction.
From the 2019 cohort onwards, the graduates have been waiting months or even years to get the necessary clearance to start working.
They contend that the government's inaction on this matter demonstrates its contempt for their welfare and chances for the future.
This united position reflects a growing dissatisfaction among young healthcare professionals who are calling on the government to give them priority and provide them the chance to serve their communities.
Their demonstration is a sobering reminder of the government's need to deal with pressing problems impacting its people and guarantee the efficient operation of essential industries like healthcare.
Given the possibility of a strong response from this sizable and powerful voting base, the next elections will now be a critical test for the ruling party.
The collective voice of allied health graduates is powerful, and their vote may be crucial in determining how Ghana's healthcare system develops in the future.
