The Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh on Wednesday welcomed a delegation from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), led by Mrs. Eva Mensah, Director of Nursing and Midwifery at the Ghana Health Service, along with Dr. Cecilia Anim, former President of the Royal College of Nursing, and other distinguished representatives.
The visit was aimed to formally introduce the Royal College of Nursing and discuss its role in strengthening nursing and midwifery administration and management in Ghana.
The discussions focused on developing comprehensive Nursing and Midwifery Administration & Management Guidelines to standardize leadership practices at all levels of care at the Ghana Health Service and enhancing leadership and governance in nursing and midwifery through structured capacity-building programs.
The Royal College of Nursing has expressed its commitment to supporting the Ghana Health Service in developing these administrative and management guidelines.
As part of this process, the team is conducting a situational analysis to assess current structures, identify gaps, and secure funding for the programme’s full implementation.
The Hon. Minister reaffirmed his commitment to advancing nursing and midwifery leadership and ensuring the necessary policy backing for this initiative.
“Strengthening these structures will ultimately enhance healthcare quality, improve patient outcomes, and ensure sustainability in the profession,” he added.
