About 226 nurses August 6, graduated with Diplomas in General Nursing and other domains at the Rwamagana School of Nursing and Midwifery. This is a pioneer group to have successfuly graduated at the school.
Most graduates in the group had been waiting for the maiden day since 2009. The course at the nursing school takes 12months of rigorous training.
According to the Nursing school Principal, Sr Epiphanie Mukabaranga, the graduates are equiped with skills to make positive contribution in healthcare saying, “The graduates studied how our healthcare system works and what our communities need to be as healthy as possible.”
She said, “I have no doubt that the skills acquired here will be beneficial to the communities that you are going to serve. It is our goal to produce quality nurses and midwives to serve in our health centres and hospitals.”
The school was established in 1962 by the Bernardine Cistercian Sisters and shortly afterward started offering nursing education of A3 level (auxiliary nurses).
Since 1966 it had upgraded only to offer certificates (A1).
