Parliament Endorses Decision to Phase Out Nursing Certificate and Diploma Courses

In a recent session, Uganda’s Parliament has backed the Government’s move to phase out comprehensive nursing certificate and diploma courses across public and private institutions.
“The committee recommends that the Ministry of Education and Sports reconsider their decision to phase out these courses and, instead, focus on enhancing the curriculum,” Lokwang stated.
He stressed the necessity of reviewing and enriching the comprehensive nursing course’s curriculum to adequately equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills.
Muyingo explained that despite the phase-out, registered comprehensive nurses, numbering 3,319 (diploma holders) and 19,298 (certificate holders), would still be valued.
The decision reflects a balanced approach, aiming to address concerns while ensuring the best outcomes for nursing education and the healthcare system as a whole.
