The Health Ministry has announced a postponement of the Centralised Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations to September 4, 2025.
The decision was taken after a consultative meeting involving the Minister for Health, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions (COHHETI).
It was agreed that, going forward, candidates will sit for the exams in their respective training institutions, restoring the previous practice.
According to the Ministry, the move is aimed at reducing risks associated with long-distance travel and ensuring effective supervision by the NMC.
The Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, stressed that it is not proper for students to travel from one region to another to write exams, describing the new directive as a measure to safeguard the safety and well-being of candidates.
He further assured that the Ministry will provide the necessary logistics to guarantee smooth implementation.
The NMC is expected to release a revised timetable and detailed guidelines in due course.
The Ministry expressed appreciation to all candidates, training institutions, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding.
