NMC SIGNED MoU WITH G- DNA

GHANAIAN-DIASPORA NURSING ALLIANCE (G-DNA) SIGNS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MoU) WITH THE NURSING AND MIDWIFERY COUNCIL





Ghanaian-Diaspora Nursing Alliance (G-DNA) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. The MOU will enable G-DNA to facilitate and support G-DNA members in the diaspora to contribute to advancing Nursing and Midwifery practice in Ghana. The intended purpose of the collaboration is to enhance and advance Nursing practice and to improve healthcare delivery outcomes in Ghana. 

Prof. Yvonne Commodore-Mensah, President of the G-DNA and an Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins Schools of Nursing and Public Health in Baltimore, in her address to the press, indicated that the G-DNA will mobilize Ghanaian Nurses trained abroad as well as those trained in Ghana and leaving abroad to give back to their mother country.

The MoU will also wave off some requirements for foreign-trained Ghanaian Nurses and Midwives to register with the Council as enshrined in the Part 111 of the HPRBA 2013, Act 857. This is to encourage more diasporan Nurses and Midwives to come home to practice in order to share skills and knowledge acquired abroad.

Dr. Daniel Apau, Co-Director of Education of the G-DNA, stated that there is a huge skill experience in the diaspora which when shared can impact health care delivery in the country.

He also stated that Nursing is the bedrock of healthcare delivery so all health professionals in the country should collaborate to achieve the total health care delivery system in Ghana.

 The Acting Registrar of the Council, Mrs. Philomina Woolley expressed her satisfaction in the MoU, stating that it will help bring back health workers in the diaspora that will help in the Faculties of Universities and Training Institutions.

She also noted that their expertise will be needed in the hospitals, CHIP Compounds, etc and also help in organizing seminars, health talks as well as in research which will in turn help Nursing and Midwifery practice

THE SEARCH FOR NEVER ENDING HAPPINESSES

 THE SEARCH FOR NEVER ENDING HAPPINESS.  There is no sky-God in heaven who is going to protect you from the volatility of the lived human experience, but there is a deep-seated serenity, tranquility, and equanimity that you can access at the center of yourself and all things. There is no knight in shining armor or bewitching goddess who is going to swoop in and carry you away into a fairy tale happy ending, but there is the personal work you can do with and in yourself that will enable you to cultivate healthy, fulfilling and satisfying relationships.  There is no special enlightened leader or teacher or sacred book that can finally show you the highest truth that sets you free, but you are capable of utilizing your own critical thinking, direct experience, and personal investigation to discover and embrace ultimate reality.  There is no self-help guru or program that will magically solve your chronic unhappiness, disharmony, and self-sabotaging mindsets and choices,...

THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS. THE AFRICAN CASE .

 THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS : THE AFRICAN CASE  Brookings Institute reports that 70 percent of Sub-Saharan Africa’s population is under 30, representing about 743 million of 1,061 billion people in this region. These statistics represent a robust workforce, also known as the “cheetah generation”, a new and angry generation of young African graduates and professionals who can take up leadership roles from communities to the national level, and look at African issues and problems from a different perspective. We, the next generation of African leaders, should exhibit three characteristics. Firstly, we must be able to lead ourselves. Leadership is a way of being, not a position or job title. To become great leaders, we must develop a sense of who we are, what we can do, and where we are going. Coupled with this, we must embrace failure, build resilience, develop emotional mastery, and be lifelong learners.  Secondly, we must understand how to lead others. To be able to e...
