The Ministry of Health wishes to inform the general public and all stakeholders that, effective the 2025/2026 academic year, school fees for Nursing and Allied Health Training students have been reduced by 50%.
This intervention has been made possible through the introduction of Government’s flagship “No-Fee-Stress” Policy for tertiary students across the country.
By this initiative, Government has absorbed about half of the approved fees for all first-year students enrolled in Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions.
The Ministry further stated that:
- All institutions are strictly required to adhere to the approved fees and items as communicated by the Ministry.
- No institution is permitted to charge above the approved amount or demand payment for items covered under the policy.
According to the statement, this reduction fulfills the commitment of His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, to provide financial relief for parents and students who are determined to pursue their academic and professional dreams.
The Ministry of Health hereby advises Principals of Health Training Institutions to comply fully with this directive. Any Principal who contravenes this directive or imposes unauthorized fees does so at his or her own peril.
The Ministry remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of students and advancing equitable access to health training education. Heads of Health Training Institutions have therefore been directed to commence the necessary processes leading to the admission of students for the 2025/2026 academic year.
