The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has ordered the immediate suspension of the Principal of the Nurses and Midwifery Training College in Nalerigu in the North East region.
The decision comes after preliminary investigations revealed instances of unauthorised admissions at the institution.
The directive was issued during the Minister’s working visit to the Upper East, North-East, and Northern Regions, where he toured health facilities and training institutions to assess operations and service delivery.
Following a briefing on the irregularities, the Minister visited the college and, based on initial findings, suspended the head of the institution pending further investigations.
Minister Akandoh emphasised that strict adherence to established admission protocols is non-negotiable and warned that any head of a training institution found engaging in unauthorised practices will face firm sanctions.
He reiterated the Ministry’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the upholding of high standards in health training institutions nationwide.
