The Ministry of Health has announced that the planned Centralized Nursing and Midwifery Licensing Examinations has been postponed to September 4, 2025.
A statement from the ministry said the directive follows careful consideration of the risks associated with extensive travel by students to designated examination centres.
The decision was reached at a consultative meeting involving the Minister for Health, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Conference of Heads of Health Training Institutions (COHHETI).
It was also agreed that the examinations will henceforth be conducted in the respective training institutions, as was previously the practice, to ensure smooth participation and effective supervision by the NMC.
