533 admitted to Ghana Armed Forces College of Nursing and Midwifery
Ghana Armed Forces College of Nursing and Midwifery admitted 533 students at 37 Military Hospital in Accra. The students comprised 126 Bachelor of Science in Midwifery students and 407 Bachelor of Arts in General Nursing students.
The event coincided with the inauguration of a cafeteria, an office complex, a conference hall, a college entrance wall and a generator set. Air Marshal Dr Felix Adom Asante, President of the National Defence University, advised the students to uphold discipline and professionalism. He said, "Healthcare delivery remains a fundamental pillar of national stability and human development. Sustainable national progress cannot be achieved without a healthy population." Prof. Rosemary Aboagye Boohene, a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, urged the students to strive for academic excellence and demonstrate good character. She said, "Your admission is an achievement worthy of recognition, but it is also the beginning of a serious commitment to academic excellence, good character and responsible citizenship."
Major Bright Attah Addae, Principal of the College, said the provision of the facilities was necessitated by the institution's transition into a degree-awarding college. He said, "This project was not undertaken merely for convenience. It was undertaken as a matter of institutional necessity and strategic importance." He explained that regulatory bodies required the college to provide standard infrastructure to meet accreditation requirements.
