Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations to September 4, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>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). <\/p>\n<p>It was agreed that, going forward, candidates will sit for the exams in their respective training institutions, restoring the previous practice.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry, the move is aimed at reducing risks associated with long-distance travel and ensuring effective supervision by the NMC. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>He further assured that the Ministry will provide the necessary logistics to guarantee smooth implementation. <\/p>\n<p>The NMC is expected to release a revised timetable and detailed guidelines in due course.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry expressed appreciation to all candidates, training institutions, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n                <div
