As President Koroma declares
Public Health Emergency on Maternal and Child Health, the Health Ministry
School of Midwifery Masuba, Makeni has produced 59 certified trained and
qualified Midwives to fight maternal and newborn deaths in all districts in the
north, east and south of the country.
Addressing
the postings ceremony in the conference hall of the Ministry of Health and
Sanitation on Monday December 14, 2015, the Chief Nursing Officer, Matron
Hossinatu Kanu congratulated the newly certified Midwives and encouraged them
to be committed, dedicated and accountable in their different duty stations.
She
spoke on their core responsibilities, the code of ethics of the nursing
profession and the regulation and code of conduct of the Civil Service
including issues on their dress code, promotion and transfers, pointing out
that as senior professionals they should be seen as mentors and role models for
their junior colleagues.
Matron
Kanu underscored the importance of putting into practice Infection, Prevention
and Control measures and a change of attitude to portray the nursing profession
in a positive light, and to act as advocates to ensure pregnant women utilize
their various health facilities.
With
the exception of Western Urban/Rural Area due to the over population of
midwifery staff, the Final Postings to the different peripheral health units
would be executed by the District Health Management Teams in the north, east
and southern regions on arrival.
