Nursing students in national costume
The Nursing Training School has been preparing Christian nurses and midwives to work at the hospital for the past 10 years. The current group of 11 students have completed their first year and will enter year 2 at the beginning of March. Some of them have to resit some of the first year exams, so please pray that they might succeed. Dr Jeannine, who is Director of Studies, has written to say that there are currently around 200 nursing schools in the country. Most of them are small and private and the government wants to cut back to a much smaller number of schools. It was very encouraging to learn that in an evaluation of these schools that the Department of Health undertook in November, the Mandritsara school came second overall!
