Paramount Chief for the Oguaa Traditional Area in the Central Region, Osabarimba Kwesi Atta II, has urged trainee nurses and midwives of the Cape Coast Nursing and Midwifery Training College to discharge their duty to patients with the utmost care, patience, and fear of God when they finally pass out as professional health practitioners.
Addressing this at the matriculation, graduation, and 75th anniversary of the Cape Coast Nursing and Midwifery Training College, themed “75 Years of Quality Health Training: Repositioning to Achieve Universal Health Coverage,”

The Central Regional Minister, Hon. Justina Marigold Assan, eulogized the invaluable role nurses and midwives play in Ghana’s healthcare delivery system. Establishing that nurses desire to save lives is a divine call, as they’re entrusted with the nurturing of human lives right from conception to the grave.
Hon. Marigold Assan again congratulated newly admitted students of the nursing institution on their meritorious enrollment on the college’s 2023 admission list and urged them to work hard to achieve their goal of being admitted to the school.
Mrs. Jemima Fati Ackon, Principal of the Cape Coast Nursing and Midwifery Training College, highlighted the fact that it is impossible to prevent these health practitioners from traveling outside the country but beholds on the government to put in place adequate measures to have equally good nurses and midwives replace those traveling abroad with the provision of requisite logistics to enhance healthcare delivery in the country.
She, therefore, outlined some challenges the school is facing, having called for the construction of spacious lecture halls, a fence wall, and an accessible road network to the college’s new campus at Abura in Cape Coast.
