Hon. Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, Minister for Health has commended the Netherlands government through NUFFIC, Nursing and Midwifery Council, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and international consultancy firm CINOP for their contribution towards the successful implementation of the NICHE/GHA/261 project.


Hon. Agyeman-Manu noted that the project which was initiated in 2016 was to improve the organizational capacity of the Nursing and Midwifery Council to conduct efficient, effective as well as credible licensing examinations for Nurse Assistants, Nurses and Midwives in Ghana.


“I am proud to say that, since that time, the Council has progressed up to this stage where the online licensing examination system has been rolled out for all the nursing and midwifery programmes in Ghana”, he added.
He made these remarks in his keynote address at the close-out conference of the project held at the Council’s Head Office in Accra.


He mentioned that Ghana’s stringent nursing and midwifery regulatory systems continue to earn global applause and it was evident that neighbouring countries had sent delegates to understudy the operations of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana.


Touching on the way forward, he said the government will continue to invest in the health sector and recruit more health professionals in addition to the one hundred thousand recruited in their first term of office.


He stressed “we will continuously upgrade our medical, nursing and midwifery curricula, and continue to train our young doctors, nurses, midwives and other health care professionals in a world-class fashion”
