Launch of Global Health Workforce Programme in Accra, Ghana

Description

This was an in-country launch of the Global Health Workforce Programme (#GHWP), a pivotal step towards fortifying our health systems through #HealthPartnerships. Dignitaries from the World Health Organization, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET), Ministry Of Health, Ghana, and health partnerships, including the UK, gathered to champion this cause.

Large grant winners showcased their projects, shedding light on the transformative initiatives funded by the UK’s
Department of Health and Social Care, via THET.

Our team was privileged to present our project aimed at enhancing the Nursing and Midwifery Council (N&MC) of Ghana's oversight and regulation of nurses and midwives, ensuring top-notch care quality.

Our Team include Dr. Bibha Simkhada, Prof. Padam Simkhada, and Mr. Ransford Akrong (all at the University of Huddersfield); Dr. Susan Jones (University of Liverpool); Mrs. Philomina A. N. Woolley, Mrs. Victoria Lamina, Mr. Ampem Darko Oklodu-Abbey , Mr. Osei Agyei Duodu, and Mr. Frederick Kwasi Osei (all the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana); and Hari Krishna Neupane (IT Consultant, TechnoFerry International Limited, UK).


Less than one month into it, our project boasts of crucial milestones—establishing relevant committees, advancing MoU negotiations, and initiating revalidation framework development through consultative meeting. With innovative ideas and expert consultation, including a recent on-site assessment by our project’s IT Consultant.
