How To Print Your Appointment Letter And  What To Do Next

Now that you know the health facility that you are going to work with. You would have to print your appointment letter and send it to the health facility for approval. The option to print the appointment letter would be in the placement page. The question now is what next after knowing your placement. Here is what to do.

1. After printing the four page appointment letter, proceed to the health facility you have been posted to. With two copies, for endorsement by an appropriate person. This could be the head of institution or head of human resource. Note that the endorsement is to be done on the third page that looks like this. It should be signed and stamped not just signed. They are to keep one and give you one.

2.   After the endorsement, schedule an appointment for regional validation and acceptance on the national service website. Here is how: How To Schedule Appointment For NSS Validation. You are to print the appointment form and take it along to your national service regional office when the time arrives. After booking appointment the page to print the scheduled appointment form would look like this.

3.  When the appointment date arrives go there as early as possible. Forget your time slot. It is a first come first served queue, there would be a lot of people there and if the closing time reaches you would have to go and come the next day, no matter where you are from. You are to go there with the endorsed appointment letter and an id card. Note that when your printed appointment letter does not contain the barcode, it is not valid. The barcode would be scanned at the validation center to authenticate it.

4.  After a successful validation you would be given a different appoint appointment letter with the Regional Acceptance Number (RAN) on it. Three copies would be given to you at the validation center after validation. You are to take one back to the institution  that endorsed your first appointment letter, thus where you are going to work. You are to keep one and send one to your national service district office. But upon reaching the national service district office you might be told they are not collecting appointment letters so keep it.

5.  After validation there comes biometric registration. You would have to go back to your regional office for this process. Your finger prints will be scanned and they will snap your face unto their system. Ideally this should have been combined with the validation process. But this is Ghana. This would lead to a lot of chaos and protocol registrations, you could be in a queue for over eight hours and still not be attended to. You would have to go home and come the next day. The purpose of the booking was to avoid this but it still happens. Best thing to do is go there before seven o’clock or forget it. People go there earlier than that. Another thing you can do is to relax, this process would go on for weeks. You can wait when the congestion comes down then you go.

6.   After the biometric registration and days into your service you would be required to login to your dashboard. There would be an option to enter your ezwitch card details. When the time is due it would be communicated to you through their website or the appropriate platforms.

7. You would be required to print your evaluation form getting to the middle of every month and have it endorsed by your supervisor in your institution and submit it before 15th of every month before you are paid. Good Luck On Your Service To The Nation.
