Jasikan (V/R), 19, GNA- Sixty selected youths in the Jasikan District of the Volta Region were expected to assist two hospitals, clinics and health posts in the District, under the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).

Mr. Solomon Donkor, the District Chief Executive, who announced this to the GNA at Jasikan, said a day's orientation course would be organised for the personnel.

Mr. Donkor also said the NYEP in collaboration with the Ghana Health Service would after the orientation, organise two months intensive training and four months practical work for the youths to enable them provide good services.
