The
138 graduates include 54 Registered nurses, 72 Enrolled nurses and 12 Enrolled
Midwives. He said Government has since adopted a four pillar strategy to
provide adequate nursing human resource across the country through expansion
and construction of nursing schools.
Dr
Kasonde said provision of E-learning facilities in all nursing schools and
private partnerships will enhance efforts of improving the health sector. He
said government will soon implement the National Training Operational Plan
specifically targeted towards scaling up the number of students who will
graduate from all health training institutions in the country.
And
General Nursing Council Registrar Universe Mulenga encouraged the nurses to put
the interest of patients above their own personal interests.
