Nursing and Midwifery practice and education reforms are one of the major priority areas in the 2021-2025 strategic plan of the Council.
To this end, the Council has set out to do the following:
1. Develop an MoU with the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives to undertake joint research for midwifery development.
2. Set up Midwifery endowment fund and develop research agenda for the profession.
3. Publish midwifery research in the Council's peer-reviewed journal.
The Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Mr. Felix Nyante made this known when he addressed the 13th Scientific Conference and Biennial General Conference of the Ghana Registered Midwives Association (GRMA) held in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region on Monday, August 2, 2021.
The programme was on the theme: “Evidence from data to champion investments in midwifery; Monitor the investments for quality midwifery.”
Mr. Nyante emphasised that there was the need for a continued and stronger partnership with the Council's health partners to invest heavily in the midwifery training and practice for improved service delivery.
He urged the leadership of GRMA to develop strategic goals that were in line with the 4th Industrial Revolution
