Fifty enrolled nurses and midwives from Sierra Leone have arrived in Ghana to undergo a two-year registered diploma\u00a0course in Nursing and Midwifery.<\/p>\n

This follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Ghana Nursing and Midwifery Council, the Ministry of Health and international health NGO, M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The MoU was a result of a proposal made by M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res, to the Ministry of Health and the Nursing and Midwifery Council to offer and fund a bridging course for certificate nurses from Sierra Leone in Ghana.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The project, which starts in January 2018, will allow MSF, \u00a0train the 50 nurses and midwives in two nursing and midwifery training schools; that’s Korle Bu and Koforidua, with each school admitting 25 trainees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MSF is a leading emergency medical humanitarian organization providing assistance in about 70 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

The official inaugural ceremony for the training of the 50 enrolled nurses and midwives was attended by the Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu and his deputy, Tina Mensah.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr. Manu expressed confidence that the two\u00a0year program will equip\u00a0 the trainees with\u00a0 enough skills to enable them provide quality health care to the people of Sierra Leone.\u00a0 He also congratulated the two nursing and midwifery training schools; that’s Korle Bu and Koforidua and MSF for making the project possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“We are all aware that Sierra Leone has undergone health crisis as a result of Ebola. It is my hope that after the nurses are done with this programme, they will return to Sierra Leone and help rebuild the country\u2019s shuttered health service”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also present at the event were a deputy\u00a0 Foreign Affairs Minister,\u00a0 Mohammed Habib Tijani, Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Felix Nyante, and officials from M\u00e9decins\u00a0Sans Fronti\u00e8res\u00a0(MSF).<\/p>\n

About the training program<\/strong><\/p>\n

The training project is part of MSF\u2019s strategy to develop the required level of Human Resources for a proposed 160 bed Paediatric and Obstetric Hospital in Kenema, Sierra Leone, which was hard hit during the Ebola outbreak.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More than 200 health workers from the district lost their lives during the epidemic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ghana was chosen by MSF due to the international standards of nursing and midwifery education, training and practice that are on offered.<\/p>\n
