The Holy Family Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Berekum, was the first health training institution in the region to train qualified midwives. The College over the years placed emphasis on competence and professionalism, hence our motto: “Before you learn to care, you must care to learn.”

As part of our objectives, we train our midwifery students to uphold ethical and professional standards. As a Catholic institution, we instill in our students the Gospel values of the Kingdom of God, among which are love, compassion, forgiveness, humility, sacrifice, tolerance, care of the sick, women, children, and the vulnerable. In other words, we do not only train the mind but the heart too, and this is what makes us unique.

The Registered Midwifery programme is a six-semester (three-year) diploma programme that prepares the individual in Basic Nursing with special option in Midwifery. This programme is however opened to ONLY FEMALES.

The goal of the programme is to produce a polyvalent midwife who will practice midwifery in any part of the community, country, and sub-region.

The professional midwife would have acquired knowledge, skills, and attitudes to recognize the total reproductive health needs of individuals, families, and communities, and participate effectively in meeting those needs.
