Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has inaugurated the first-ever Islamic Nursing Training College in Accra.
The facility was built to address the rising demand for Islamic Senior High School (SHS) graduates.
Speaking at the launch, Dr Bawumia expressed profound gratitude to the leadership of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamma for their efforts in establishing the educational facility.
“I commend the leadership of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamma, as well as all those who contributed towards building the Islamic Nursing Training School,” he stated.
According to him, despite over 90 public nursing training colleges across the country, they are inadequate to meet the growing admission demands of senior high school graduates.
“The private sector, especially faith-based organisations, have played leading roles in complementing government’s efforts at expanding access to nursing training, this Islamic Nursing Training College is a welcome addition to these schools, and it will offer more admission opportunities to young Ghanaian aspiring to be nurses,” the Vice President added.
The school was built by the Islamic community in Ghana and Nigeria in collaboration with the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamma.
