History of SoNM
The School of Nursing and Midwifery, was first established as a Post Basic Nursing institution in 1963 as a World Health Organization (WHO) project at the request of the Ministry of Health. It then focused on the preparation of Diploma awarded Nurse Tutors for basic nursing training institutions. Further, the School also focused on certificate courses in Nursing Management in July 1970 and diploma courses in Nursing Service Administration in 1971.
In 1980, the degree programme began and the designation of the Post-Basic Nursing Department changed to Department of Nursing with a wholly Ghanaian staff and placed under both the Faculties of Science and Social Studies. On July 15, 2003, the Department was upgraded into a School and made a constituent of the College of Health Sciences by the University Council.
