The Ministry of Health has warned health training institutions against admitting more students than their approved capacity.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News, the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, stressed that maintaining quality education remains a top priority for the Ministry.
He disclosed that some health training institutions have already been sanctioned for violating admission regulations by exceeding their approved student intake limits.
According to him, strict adherence to the approved quotas is essential for institutions to operate effectively and deliver high-quality training.
He cautioned that any institution found flouting these rules will face serious sanctions.
The Minister made the remarks during the inauguration of governing boards for several health training institutions.
Mr. Akandoh further noted that the Ministry is intensifying efforts to train students in the management of non-communicable diseases, highlighting the growing global demand for Ghanaian health professionals.
He explained that many countries are increasingly seeking skilled health workers from Ghana, making it necessary to align training with international healthcare needs.
Additionally, he said that while some health professionals may be deployed abroad, the government remains committed to absorbing others locally to ensure employment opportunities for those who remain in the country.
