The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of Ghana has revoked the accreditation of the Nursing and Midwifery programs offered by the Ghana Christian University College (GCUC). This decision comes after a thorough review of the institution’s programs and facilities, which revealed that they no longer met the required standards.
The NMC has cited several reasons for the revocation, including inadequate clinical facilities, insufficient faculty, and non-compliance with curriculum requirements. The council has given the university a specific timeframe to address the identified deficiencies and meet the accreditation requirements.
The accreditation of GCUC’s Nursing and Midwifery programs was withdrawn with immediate effect. Students currently enrolled in the programs may be affected, and the university has been advised to provide alternative arrangements for their completion.
The NMC has assured the public that it will continue to monitor the situation and work with the university to ensure that the necessary standards are met. This development highlights the council’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in nursing and midwifery education in Ghana.
The Ghana Christian University College has been given the opportunity to appeal the decision and work towards re-accreditation. The NMC will provide further guidance and support to ensure that the university meets the required standards and provides quality education to its students.
