In a bid to widen access to healthcare education and support students from low-income backgrounds, the Ministry of Health has announced a 25% reduction in the cost of admission forms for Health Training Institutions nationwide.
The cost has been lowered from GHC 200 to GHC 150 for the 2025/2026 academic year, a move the Ministry says is aimed at easing the financial burden on prospective applicants.
A press release signed by the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader policy to promote equity and inclusivity in the training of Ghana’s future healthcare workforce.
“This intervention is a deliberate effort to make healthcare education more accessible to all, especially those from disadvantaged communities,” the statement noted.
The sale of application forms will begin on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, and close on Thursday, June 19, 2025. The Ministry has advised applicants to purchase forms only from designated financial institutions—GCB Bank PLC and the Agricultural Development Bank—urging the public to avoid unofficial channels.
More details on the application process will be released in the coming days.
The Ministry has called on stakeholders, including training institutions and the general public, to support the effort to create a more inclusive pathway into Ghana’s healthcare system.
