The Nursing and Midwifery Council has withdrawn the licenses of three practitioners after it emerged that they used fake certificates to gain admissions to training institutions.
According to Registrar Felix Nyante, Abigail Bobin and Esther Abuubey used certificates belonging to others to gain admission into the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Kpembe in the Northern region.
However, through some intelligence gathered and with the assistance of the Principal of the Training College, the two were apprehended.
They were invited to the Council where they admitted in their written statements that they forged documents and used West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) result slips belonging to some persons to gain admission.
In the case of Stephany Arthur Baidoo, she used someone’s WASSCE certificate and obtained a fake birth certificate to gain admission at the Nyaniba Health College.

He appealed to Heads of Nursing & Midwifery Training Institutions and Health Facilities to assist the Council with information on suspected students and practitioners respectively to enable the Council to rid the system of quacks.
The Registrar has noted that several other suspected fake practitioners and students with issues of impersonation are currently being investigated and will make the outcome known to the general public when investigations are concluded.
