The Health Ministry has announced that the Centralised Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations have been postponed to September 4, 2025.
This decision follows a consultative meeting involving the Minister for Health, representatives from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions (COHHETI).
From now on, candidates will take their exams at their respective training institutions, reverting to the previous practice.
The Ministry aims to minimise the risks associated with long-distance travel and ensure effective supervision by the NMC.
Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh highlighted the importance of keeping students safe, stating that it is unsuitable for them to travel across regions for exams.
He described this new directive as a protective measure for the candidates’ well-being.
The Ministry is committed to providing the necessary resources to ensure a smooth implementation of these changes. The NMC will soon announce a revised timetable and detailed guidelines.
The Ministry extends its gratitude to all candidates, training institutions, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding during this transition.
