Abstract
The Nurses and Midwives Council for Ghana is an administrative body set up by the Government to take charge of the Management of all Nurses and Midwives in the country, who constitute the majority of the health labour force. Although, the Council is empowered by law to function on its own, it is still under the Ministry of Health subvention and also among twenty one (21) other bodies working under the Ministry of Health, (the central government’s agency for health). The Ministry has several sectoral duties to perform hence it involves the role and service of the various twenty one (21) bodies in order to achieve its health goals for the nation. The Nurses and Midwives Council therefore performs like a sub-division of the Ministry of Health and by her functions, the Ministry finally achieves its aim of maximising healthy lives of all people resident in Ghana.
