I am indeed delighted that our Ghana Regulatory Body for Nursing and Midwifery is embarking on initiatives to enable students of our esteemed professions to not only communicate with patients who are indigenes of Ghana but to broaden their horizon into multilingualism by studying FRENCH. This initiative is supportive of the current global drive for universal access to health by 2030. The health workforce being the core drivers to achievement of this drive is greatly reliant on the formidable work of nurses and midwives who are by evidence the largest number in every national health workforce.
