Ministry of Health launches admissions into six specialised nursing training programmes
The Ministry of Health has opened admissions into six post-basic specialised nursing programmes at health training institutions across the country, with applications running from March 3 to March 26, 2026.
According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, March 4, the programmes are linked to the government’s Ghana Medical Trust Fund, known as MahamaCares, and the Ghana Labour Exchange Programme. The Ministry said the expansion is aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery in support of the two initiatives.
The areas of specialisation include Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Nursing, Cardiology Nursing, Nephrology Nursing, Endocrinology Nursing and Oncology Nursing.
Training will take place at five institutions in three cities: the Peri-Operative and Critical Care School at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Nursing and Midwifery Training College campuses in Korle Bu, Kumasi and Tamale, and the Ear, Nose and Throat School in Kumasi.
Applicants must hold a diploma in Registered General Nursing, Midwifery or Registered Mental Health Nursing. They are also required to have completed a one-year rotation, internship or national service, and possess at least two years of relevant work experience. Applicants must not be more than 40 years old, must be medically fit, and must have a valid PIN from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana.
Applications are to be submitted online via the Ministry’s portal at https://register.healthtraining.gov.gh at a fee of GH¢150. After payment, applicants will receive a voucher with a unique PIN and serial number to complete and track their application. They are also required to upload scanned copies of their academic and professional certificates, as well as their residential and Ghana Post digital addresses.
The programme will run for four semesters, and successful candidates will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree by the University of Cape Coast.
Graduates will qualify for associate membership of the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives and licensure from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana. Admitted applicants will be granted study leave.
