The 4th Nursing and Midwifery Leaders and Managers Conference has been climaxed with the 3rd Excellence and Hall of Fame Awards ceremony, which saw 25 nurses, midwives, managers, and leaders across the country get awards in six different categories.

The aim of the awards is to recognise and celebrate exceptional nurses and midwives whose contributions have significantly impacted healthcare delivery in the country.

The Deputy Minister for Health, Tina Naa Ayeley Mensah, the guest of honour at the ceremony, while addressing awardees and participants, indicated that the Ministry of Health fully sponsored the awards as a demonstration of the Ministry’s appreciation for the contribution of nurses and midwives in the health care system who represent about 60% of the overall health workforce.

“I wish to congratulate all the awardees for their nominations and achievements. I hope that this recognition will further motivate you to excel more and make us proud”, she said.

The Deputy Minister commended Dr. Yeboah and the planning committee for assembling about 300 distinguished nursing and midwifery leaders and managers across the country, as well as key partners and stakeholders, to deliberate on national health issues.
