Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations Postponed to September 4

The Ministry of Health has announced the postponement of the Centralised Licensing Examinations for Nursing and Midwifery candidates to Thursday, 4th September 2025.

The decision was taken after a consultative meeting involving the Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions (COHHETI).

As part of the new arrangement, the examinations will no longer be held at designated centralised centres but will instead be conducted in the respective health training institutions across the country, in line with previous practice.

The Ministry explained that the move is aimed at reducing the risks associated with long-distance travel by students, ensuring fairness, and enabling effective supervision by the NMC.

“The safety and well-being of candidates is paramount. It is not proper for students to travel from one region to another to sit for examinations,” the Health Minister emphasised. He also assured stakeholders that the Ministry will provide the necessary logistics to facilitate the smooth conduct of the exams.

A revised timetable and detailed guidelines will be released soon by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The Ministry expressed appreciation to all candidates, training institutions, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding as the new directive is implemented.
