Nandom Midwifery Training College is set to begin a Registered General Nursing (RGN) programme in the 2026/27 academic year, a move expected to expand health training opportunities in the Nandom Municipality and the Upper West Region at large.
The announcement was made by the Principal of the College, Madam Christina Terbobri, during a stakeholders’ engagement by the St. Theresa’s Hospital in Nandom on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
According to her, the introduction of the programme marks a major milestone in the growth of the institution and its contribution to health manpower development in the country.
Madam Terbobri used the occasion to encourage practicing health workers and the general public to take advantage of the new programme to enroll.
In his remarks, the Nandom Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Anthony Ziniel, disclosed that he and the Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Lawyer Richard Kuuire, have visited the GETFund Secretariat to seek support for the construction of additional classrooms and other learning facilities to support the expansion of the College.
Hon. Ziniel further revealed that he made a follow-up visit together with Lawyer Cosmos Aapengnuo, where they met the Chief Executive Officer of GETFund to further engage on the funding request.
The MCE also indicated that other second-cycle institutions in the municipality, including Nandom Senior High School and St. John’s Technical Institute, have been earmarked to benefit from some GETFund projects aimed at improving educational infrastructure.
