The Ministry of Health has announced a 50% reduction in admission fees for Nursing and Allied Health Training students, beginning with the 2025/2026 academic year.
The move, part of government’s new “No-Fee-Stress” Policy, is aimed at easing the financial burden on parents and students.
By this policy, government will absorb half of the approved fees for all first-year students entering nursing and allied health institutions across the country.
In a statement signed by Tony Goodman, Deputy Director and Spokesperson for the Ministry, the directive requires all health training institutions to strictly adhere to the approved fee structure.
Principals have been cautioned against imposing unauthorized charges or demanding payments for items already covered by the policy.
“This reduction fulfills the commitment of His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, to provide financial relief for parents and students who are determined to pursue their academic and professional dreams,” the release stated.
The Ministry emphasized that any principal who violates the directive does so at their own peril, reiterating its commitment to safeguarding student welfare and promoting equitable access to healthcare education.
Heads of Health Training Institutions have also been directed to commence the admission processes for the 2025/2026 academic year in line with the new policy.
