Nurses and midwives have been advised to desist from acts that tarnish the image of the profession in the eyes of the public.
Ms. Elizabeth Omechey, a student midwife from the Kumasi Komfo Anokye Nursing and Midwifery training college who made the call said it was high time nurses and midwives crafted a new image for the profession.
Speaking at a community health sensitization programme at Bremang in the Suame Municipality, she said the nursing profession was a divine call, which needed to define itself to suit the will of God.
Nurses and midwives should make sure their work always reflects that call.
