The Ghana Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has requested all nursing and midwifery training institutions to upgrade their degree training to bachelor’s degree programs.
Council Registrar Felix Nyante said the upgrade would improve nursing and midwifery to meet the changing health care needs of the public.
He was speaking at an accreditation forum organized by the Council to assess and validate the operating standards of training establishments before accrediting them.
Mr. Nyante said that accreditation has helped identify issues to be addressed in institutions and has encouraged the implementation of quality improvement mechanisms.
Plans are underway to rank nursing and midwifery training institutions and universities, he said, to introduce healthy competition and challenge them to strive for excellence.
A five-member panel at the forum evaluated the Catholic University College; and the FLOSAM Institute of Nursing, Obstetric and Allied Sciences.
Problems identified included expanding their computer labs, providing more spacious classrooms for students, and providing adequate office cabinets for tutors.
