Mr. Felix Nyante has noted that the Council will not provide accreditation to nursing and midwifery training institutions who are not in good standing.
He said ‘’ the introduction of credentialing as part of the accreditation process by the Council will ensure that schools satisfy all regulatory standards.
‘’The credentialing will help determine the issues to be addressed in the institutions and promote the implementation of quality assurance mechanisms’’, he said.
The Registrar therefore urged the nursing and midwifery training institutions to have quality assurance systems in place in order to address deficiencies and improve upon their training and education.
Mr. Nyante made these known during an operational visit to the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Cape-Cost as part of his tour in the region.
He used the opportunity to interact with Staff and Students on issues relating to regulation
