Myanmar Nurse and Midwife Council
(MNMC) held its first annual meeting at the meeting hall of University of
Nursing in Yangon yesterday.
Speaking at the meeting, Union
Minister for Health and Sports Dr Myint Htwe said nurses were one of the
important bodies among the ministry’s three main healthcare bodies doctors,
nurses and basic healthcare staff in providing healthcare to the people. Myanmar
Nurse and Midwife Council was also one of the most important institution that
is supervising nurses to improve their capacity and to ethically perform their
duties.
The work development of nurses and
midwives depends on the association’s systematic functions. Formed with 60
members in 13 August 2018, the new Myanmar Nurse and Midwife Council were
contributing great efforts to their duties. In order to improve the nurses’
capacity and raise their standards, the council also distributed manuals for operation
instructions, norms and producers to them, the Union Minister said. He then
asked the council to make cooperation with nursing universities and midwifery
schools so that nurses and midwives can consistently follow ethical codes, and
get protection at works and trainings. He also urged the council members in the
respective regions and states to exchange experiences with each others.
The ministry will soon allow four
private schools to open, the Union Minister added.
He continued that the opening of the
private schools will be beneficial for both sides as the schools are partnered
with foreign countries and faculties from the ministry can also work part-time
there.
He also appreciated the council for
organizing public talks related to nursing in Yangon and Mandalay. The image of
nurses and midwives will be improved if they cooperate each others with
respects and team-spirit, he added.
Afterwards, Yangon Region Chief
Minister U Phyo Min Thien made a remark and followed by the greeting remark of
Daw Nwe Nwe Khin, the president of MNMC. The Union Minister, the Yangon Region
Chief Minister and guests the observed the booth at the event.
