The Ministry of Health has officially announced the postponement of the Centralised Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations, now scheduled for September 4, 2025.
The decision comes 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).
In a significant departure from earlier plans, the Ministry revealed that the examinations will now take place within the respective training institutions, returning to a previous arrangement. According to the Ministry, this approach will ensure smoother participation for candidates and allow the NMC to supervise the process more closely.
Health Minister Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh explained that the move was aimed at minimising the risks and challenges associated with students traveling long distances to centralised exam centres. He emphasised that it was not appropriate for candidates to cross regions for the exams and assured that the Ministry would provide all necessary logistics to guarantee a seamless examination process.
A revised timetable and detailed guidelines are expected to be released soon by the NMC. The Ministry extended its appreciation to all candidates, training institutions, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding during this transition.
The announcement was made in a statement signed by Tony Goodman, Deputy Director and Spokesperson at the Ministry of Health.
