Rwamagana School of Nursing and Midwifery celebrated its 50th anniversary October 6 at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Dr.Pierre Damien Habumremyi and Ministers of Education and Health.
Dr. Habumremyi urged nurses to observe professional ethics and promote education in the country.
The School of Nursing and Midwifery was established in 1962.
The Principle of the school, Sister Epiphanie Mukabaranga, requested the government to improve the school’s infrastructure, adding that it would allow it to accommodate more students.
She also requested for the upgrading of the school to offer degrees in nursing. The school currently offers only a Diploma in Nursing (A1).
Reacting to the demands from school authorities to go to the level of offering degrees in nursing, the PM said that the decision will be taken by the unified University of Rwanda that is in the pipeline.
The PM also advised nurses to join International Nursing Association.
