Government slashes nursing and allied health training fees by 50%

The Ministry of Health (MoH) has announced a 50% reduction in admission fees for nursing and allied health training students, effective for the 2025/2026 academic year.

A statement issued by the Minsitry explained that the move is part of the government’s new “No-Fee-Stress” Policy, aimed at easing the financial burden on tertiary students and their families.

In a press release signed by Deputy Director and Spokesperson Tony Goodman, the Ministry said the reduction applies to all first-year students enrolled in public Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions.

It will cover about half of the total approved fees.

The initiative fulfills a key promise by President John Dramani Mahama to provide financial relief and promote greater access to health training education.

The MoH has issued a strict directive to all institutions, mandating their full compliance with the new approved fee schedule.
