MoH Postpones Centralised Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations

The Ministry of Health has postponed the scheduled Centralised Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations.

The examinations will take place on September 4, 2025, it said in a statement issued on Friday.

The agreement was reached between the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions (COHHETI).

It said the examinations will no longer be held at centralised venues under the new arrangement.

It will now be conducted in candidates’ respective training institutions—a return to the previous practice to reduce the risks associated with students travelling long distances to sit for exams.

“The Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, further stressed that it is not proper for students to travel from one region to another to sit for examinations. He also assured all stakeholders that the Ministry will provide the necessary logistics to ensure the successful implementation of this directive,” the statement noted.
