Trip to the Volta Region - Ghana NMC- Ghana

An very early start, leaving Accra 6.30 am for the long three hour journey to the Volta Region, visiting a decentralised NMC Ghana office.  Ghana NMC is not reliant on donor funding, self-sufficient. The way it should be!  What was encouraging to learn, the Ghana nurses and midwives have a positive attitude to CPD and to their profession compared with the Malawian nurses & midwives.
