At the grand durbar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s 50th anniversary celebration on November 20, 2020, the first French Course Book for Nursing and Midwifery trainees and practitioners was launched.

The book was launched by H.E. Ron Strikker, Ambassador, Kingdom of the Netherlands. He was supported by Mr. Felix Nyante, Registrar of the Council and some members of the 14th Governing Board.

H.E. Ron Strikker said that “the ability of our Nurses and Midwives to communicate effectively in French will help healthcare professionals better understand and assess the patient’s needs.

He added that the introduction of French in the curriculum and the French course book for the training of Nurses and Midwives will go a long way in promoting and contributing to the attainment of universal health coverage by 2030.
