The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana has decided to implement the newly approved fees and other charges imposed on nurses effective Wednesday, May 22, 2024.
The Ghana Nurses and Midwives Association announced its plans to lay down its tools in protest of the Nurses and Midwifery Council’s decision to increase the nursing verification fee from GH¢500 to GH¢3,000.
However on March 26, the NMC in a statement suspended the implementation of proposed new fees after the 15th Governing Board of the Nursing and Midwifery Council held a meeting in that regard.
“At its meeting held on March 26, 2024, the 15th Governing Board of the Nursing and Midwifery Council took a decision to halt the implementation of the newly approved fees and charges pending its review. This decision follows discussions with relevant stakeholders, regarding their concerns. In the meantime, the Council will revert to the previous fee structure”, excerpts of the release read.
After months of discussions, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana on Wednesday, May 15 in a statement disclosed that the newly approved fees and other charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations, 2024 (LI. 2481) will take effect on Wednesday May 22, 2024.
The statement also revealed that the approved foreign verification fee is still under review and the amended fee will be communicated soon.
