According to the council, though there is a lot of work needed to be done to enable the schools open, it has put in place measures that will ensure that students do not get infected.

Speaking in an interview with Citi News, President of GNACPNM, Angelina Nana Osei-Sarfo revealed that the Ghana Health Service (GHS) gave them the approval for nursing schools to resume academic work after their assessment report.

The schools were closed following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in March this year.

Ghanaian students who are going to nursing schools have not been able to return since that time, as the pandemic is still persisting, although at a much milder level than when it first arrived.

But has Ghana’s government and health officials made any announcement about reopening nursing schools?

No, they haven’t. But that doesn’t mean we don’t know what schools will look like afterwards!

In fact, the government has said the school will reopen in phases – but only after a proper safety protocol has been put in place.

Final year nursing trainees will write their licensure exam which will enable them have their license to practice as nurses. The Ghana Registered Nurses’ and Midwives’ Council (GRNMC) has revealed that there are plans for the final year nursing students to continue with lectures, but they will be made available through virtual platforms.

However, President Akufo-Addo failed to state when midwifery and nursing trainees will resume their academic activities.

When will Schools reopen in Ghana?

The Ghana National Council of Private Nurses and Midwives (GNACPNM) has said nursing training colleges across the country are already equipped and ready to run their programmes.

However, they have called on the government to lift the suspension on academic work on all campuses.

President of GNACPNM, Mr Samuel Nii Otu Narh addressing a press conference in Accra said many nursing training schools across the country were in a very bad state because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They cannot cope with this situation for long. Even if we don’t open now, I believe that before the end of this year, most of these schools will collapse because they can’t cope with it further,” he added.
