The Delta State Ministry of Health has commenced a free community nursing and midwifery program for all Deltans.
According to the statement by the Ministry of Health, the program exists as an initiative of the nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria, to provide capable human resources at the primary health care level and to reduce maternal and child mortality, particularly in rural communities.
The program is designed to produce a competent cadre of nursing and midwifery practitioners, who would upon completion of their training, be residents within the communities that nominated them, to provide basic health care service needs of the rural and hard-to-reach communities within the state.
The ministry has appealed to interested candidates to visit their various communities and local government council for their names to be shortlisted in the process.
The statement also added that while some names have already been received from some local government councils, it warns that any candidate who paid money for forms should go back to whoever they paid to for an immediate refund.
