Cost of nursing forms reduced to GHC100
Application forms for admission into nursing
training colleges have gone on sale at a reduced
price of GHC100 from the previous GHC160.

A statement signed by the Director of Human
Resource in charge of Health Development at
Ministry of Health, Lawoetey Tettey, to all
principals of the various institutions said
applications into Health Training Institutions
commenced from April 3 and will end May 29, 2017.

The cost of the application form, which is now
strictly online, has been reduced from the
previous GHC160 to GHC100.

The statement announced some new changes in the
application processes. Qualified candidates for
the 2017/2018 academic year, who wish to apply,
must complete an online application from.

Applicants are required to buy a GHC100-voucher
from either any branch of Ghana Commercial Bank or
the Agricultural Development Bank for the online
application.

Alternatively, applicants can use MTN Mobile Money
to make the payment.

“The Ministry of Health admission portal has
been linked to the West African Examination
Council (WAEC) portal, as such students will only
need to provide the index numbers and WAEC would
provide verified results on the forms,” the
statement said.

It added that there would not be the need for EMS
envelopes as all notifications would be done via
online and through SMS. Accordingly, all ICT and
Admission Officers would be trained on the
changes, and Principals of all the health training
institutions are expected to meet the Health
Minister on the new modalities.

It will be recalled that the Ministry had earlier
in January, this year, ordered the health training
institutions to cease the sale of admission forms
for the 2017/2018 academic year.

A memo dated January 18, 2017 and signed by Chief
Director of the Health Ministry, Dr. Afisah
Zakariah, suggested that a similar directive was
given earlier but was being flouted by the
training schools.
