Kumasi, June 16, GNA - The Community College for International Development, a US based non-governmental organisation, has donated educational materials to the Premier Nurses Training College (PNTC) in Kumasi.
The items included 16 teaching stethoscopes, 36 skill videos, surgical gloves, blood pressure cuffs, manijins, one infant manijin as well as educational tapes.
Donating the items Madam Laura Sessions, a lecturer at the Howard Community College in the USA, said it was important for stakeholders and corporate bodies to invest in nursing education.
This, she said, was crucial especially in an emerging economy like Ghana to help raise enough nurses.
Madam Sessions said all over the world nursing education had become very important due to the high rate at which nurses leave to work in other countries.
She said private nurses training colleges played a very important role in the health care delivery of developing countries and urged their governments to resource such colleges.
Dr. Bona Yegbe, Director of the PNTC, thanked the NGO and expressed the hope that it would continue to support the college.
