Health Ministry warns nursing training college heads over admission quotas, timeline breaches
The Ministry of Health is warning of strict compliance with admission guidelines issued to heads of health training institutions for this year's admission window. Frederick Mensah-Acheampong, Director of Human Resources at the Ministry, stated that adherence to established guidelines, particularly regarding admission quotas and timelines, is non-negotiable. He revealed that the quota system was arrived at after taking into consideration infrastructure assessment, faculty capacity, and national health workforce.
The Ministry of Health in March this year opened investigations into the operations of two principals of nursing training colleges. The suspension of principals of Nkanchina College of Nursing and Nalerigu Nurses and Midwifery Training College were announced by Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh following preliminary investigations. The two have since been on suspension for alleged over-admission of students in the 2025-2026 academic year admissions and, in some cases, the introduction of unapproved programmes of study.
