Nursing, Midwifery Colleges to get degree status – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to upgrade selected nursing and midwifery colleges across the country into degree-awarding institutions.

Speaking during his Thank-You tour of the Ahafo Region on Saturday, May 31, Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to improving tertiary education infrastructure, especially in underserved regions.

“We remain committed to expanding tertiary education, especially in underserved regions. In line with this, the NDC government will establish a university in the Ahafo Region to offer world-class programmes in agriculture, natural resources, and health sciences,” he stated.

Mahama emphasized that transforming health training institutions into degree-awarding colleges would not only enhance the professional development of nurses and midwives but also strengthen the country’s healthcare delivery system.

“We will upgrade selected nursing and midwifery colleges across the region into degree-awarding institutions. And we will continue the distribution of buses to SHSs and health training institutions to help academic operations,” he stated.

He further assured that the distribution of buses to senior high schools and health training institutions would continue, helping ease transportation challenges and support academic activities across the country.
