YEN.com.gh understands that some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) then took the opportunity to chide the government for disappointing the nurses.

The Jirapa Nursing/Midwifery Training College in the Upper West Region was established in 1952 and added up in 1954 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, a Catholic congregation spearheaded by Reverend Sister Cyprian Mary Swales.

The school started Qualified Registered Nursing from 1954 – 1969; the Enrolled General Nursing from 1969 – 1980; State Registered Nursing (SRN) from 1981 – 1999; Registered General Nursing from 1999 to date. The school currently has 840 students, 27 tutors.

Former John Dramani Mahama kick-started his three-day campaign tour of the Upper West region 3 days ago, paying a visit to the Bagbin family to mourn with them at Sombo, over the demise of Luke Bazin Bagbin, a brother of Alban Sumanu Bagbin.
