MoH Upgrading of all Health Institutions to Run a Four Year Bachelor Degree Program
First degree will be a minimum requirement to be a nurse, this is to meet the changing health care needs of Ghana.
At the annual general meeting of the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions at Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
The Rector of the Colleges of Nursing and Midwifery, Hannah Akua Oparebea Acquah, stated that the idea is to ensure that a bachelor’s degree becomes the minimum qualification for practicing nurses and midwives.
Diploma and certificate holders will fade out of the system very soon. Hannah Oparebea Acquah, spoke as the representative of the Ministry of Health at the annual meeting.
She also noted that a stakeholders will soon develop policies to upgrade all health training Institutions into fully fledged tertiary schools.
“As we are all aware, there are calls for upgrade of health Institutions into the tertiary status to improve nursing and midwifery training education and also to meet the changing healthcare needs of the public. This means that eventually, a first degree will be the minimum requirement at any level of our health education system.
“To achieve this feat, there should be a broader stakeholder consultation and engagement that will see to the development of a policy that will make all health training fully fledged tertiary institutions,” she explained
The Chairman of the conference and also the current Eastern Regional Director of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Winfred Ofosu in his remarks lauded the good leadership skills of principles and tutors of health training schools in spite of the high demand for admission of nurses and midwives.
“The high demand for nurses and midwives put a lot of constraints on the principals and the tutors but with commitment, dedication, and hard work, you have made all of us proud by delivering the numbers. This laudable achievement is against the backdrop of limited infrastructure, challenges with teaching and learning accommodation, transport for supervision of fieldwork, we applaud your sterling leadership and sacrifices.
“Infrastructure remains the challenge for many health training institutions but the efforts you made as institutions and their stakeholders have been very impressive,” he stated.
Some 10 individuals were honoured by the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions for their contributions to the success of the organization.
