Ghana has not overproduced nurses; recruitment delays are the problem – Nursing and Midwifery Council
According to the Council, Ghana still requires more than 100,000 nurses to improve its nurse-to-patient ratio, but limited financial clearance and inadequate health infrastructure have constrained the government's ability to employ qualified professionals.
Woolley acknowledged concerns about the behaviour of some health professionals and said the Council has introduced modules on attitude and communication into the nursing curriculum while expanding continuous professional development programmes.
