The Vice President of the Republic, His Excellency Dr. Bawumia has commissioned Ghana’s first Islamic Nursing Training College at Aplaku in Accra.
The Vice President joined the leadership of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa, from Ghana and Nigeria, at Aplaku, Accra, for the opening of the first Islamic Nursing Training College in Ghana on Saturday, March 19.
In his quest, he said, despite the existence of over 90 public nursing training colleges across the country, they are inadequate to meet the growing admission demands of SHS graduates.
He noted that the private sector, especially Faith based organizations, have played leading roles in complementing government’s efforts at expanding access to nursing training by establishing nursing schools.
The Islamic Nursing Training School, is an addition to these schools, and it will offer more admission opportunities to young Ghanaians aspiring to be nurses.
He commended the leadership of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamma, as well as all those who contributed towards building the Islamic Nursing Training School.
