South Africa is apparently experiencing critical problems with the training of nurses.
Trade union Solidarity’s Occupational Guild for nursing on Thursday said there was a vital need to align the health department, higher education, and training with the South African Nursing Council to resolve the current training crisis.
“The SANC’s ineffectiveness has a negative impact on the finalisation of regulations on nursing training and the accreditation of new training institutions for nursing training, practice, and programmes, as well as the reaccreditation of existing institutions and programmes offering nurses’ training,” he said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, neither the private training institutions nor the new curricula have been approved or accredited. Therefore, nurses’ training has ground to a halt to a large extent. Due to these problems, most private training institutions have not taken in any new nursing students since 2016,” he added.
