She then indicated that her expectations for relocating to the Gulf country to continue her practice were met.
Nurse Antwiwaa then focused on the benefits of working as a nurse in Saudi Arabia, where she highlighted several advantages, including free accommodation, free healthcare, and free utilities, among others.
“Everything that I was promised I have been given, free accommodation, free food, no payment of utility bills, free healthcare, free uniforms, bed sheets, pillows, blankets, everything free of charge. The uniform is not limited to one; you can be given two or three, and when they are worn out, you can go for more. So everything I was preaching about, I have come, I have experienced, and everything is free and legit”, she said in the video.
The video has resurfaced at a time when some disgruntled nurses have called on the government to settle their 10 months of outstanding salaries.
A group calling itself the Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives recently picketed at the Ministry of Health, appealing to officials to settle their salaries.

At the time of writing this report, the video had garnered over 300 likes and 32 comments.
