The Kumasi Girls Nursing and Midwifery Training College of Kumasi (known informally as KGNMTC (Buoho) is among Ghana’s finest nursing and midwifery training institutions. Founded in 1957 by the Medical Mission Sisters of the Kumasi Church, NMTC has consistently maintained its identity as a Catholic institution to the present day. The college’s commitment to discipline and academic excellence is reflected in its motto: “Before you learn to care, you must care to learn.”

The Kumasi Girls  Nursing and Midwifery Training College comprises the Nursing Training College and the Midwifery Training School which were developed as individual offshoots of the Kumasi Medical  Hospital at Buoho to train the requisite nursing personnel for the hospital and sister health facilities in other parts of the country. The Nursing Training College issues a diploma for Registered General Nursing (KGNM), while the Midwifery Training College issues a diploma for Registered Midwifery (RM). The two programmes are at par and have the same entry qualifications. They also are run within the same facilities. The school currently has 267 students pursuing Registered General Nursing and 92 pursuing Registered Midwifery, for a total population of 359.

Since its inception, the college has produced 754 general nurses and 575 midwives – a total of 1,329 nurses and midwives.
