Hohoe (V/R)-Ghana, Mar. 26, GNA – A total of 267 students have been matriculated into the Nursing and Midwifery Training College (NMTC), Hohoe to pursue various programmes of study in the College.
Mrs Stella Sarpoma Oppong, Principal of the College, said the College was ready to nurture, groom, and train the new students with the moral values and ethics of the profession.
She urged the students to take their studies seriously to become marketable to save and promote health.
Mrs Oppong said despite the cadre of staff which had made a name for the College, the students must work hard to become successful in their study.

Mr Daniel Noble Awume, Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive, noted that he would begin talks with investors to help ease the accommodation issues in the school.
