On the NSS website, the Scheme says the trained nurses are to select the ‘Applications” menu and use their student’s ID or Index numbers assigned by their institutions to obtain the unique NSS enrollment pin codes.
“After obtaining the enrollment pin codes they then proceed to any branch of ADB Bank Ltd to make a payment of GHC40.00 or through the Mobile Money (MoMo) platform for GHC41.00 to activate the enrollment process,” it said.
All qualified nurses have been urged to personally complete their online enrolment process within the stipulated period in order to avoid petty enrolment mistakes and to ensure that only accurate information is provided.
In other news, the Executive Director of NSS, Osei Assibey Antwi has said the compulsory 1-year national service period public tertiary institution graduates use to serve the nation before being posted permanently is currently under review.
In an interview monitored by AcademicWeek, Mr Osei Assibey Antwi said his outfit in due course will submit a report of their assessment of the NSS Act to the management of the Ghana National Scheme for consideration.
“The Act previously mandated service personnel to serve for two years but was later reverted to one year. We are currently working on a proposal on the year’s personnel to use for national service,” the NSS Executive Director stated.
The National Service Director indicated the Scheme has studied the national service of about 20 countries including Kenya, Gambia and Namibia and that a final draft within a month time will be submitted to the central government.
