The National Service Secretariat (NSS) has disclosed how it intends to prevent overcrowding at registration centres for deployed nurses for the 2023/2024 service year.
How NSS plans to prevent overcrowding at registration centres for deployed nurses
According to the service, to ensure the 12,295 nurses deployed are safe in an efficient manner during the registration and verification, the personnel are expected to follow the registration protocols and ensure they only go to the registration centres on the day they have been booked to do so.
Going with the right documents and valid identification documents will further speed up the process and ensure that there is less stress and pressure on all stakeholders at the various centres.
The Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has assured that measures are being put in place to prevent overcrowding at the various registration centres across the country, following the release of the postings of a total of 12,295 nurses.
Answering questions on what has been put in place to ensure there are no queues, the NSS’ Acting Director of Corporate Affairs at the Scheme, Ambrose Entsiwah Junior, indicated that plans have already been made to reduce traffic at various registration centres.
“I must say that with this number, we will not be expecting huge numbers at the registration centres, so there should not be any traffic. It is usually when we post the main service personnel from tertiary institutions, and we are talking about over 150,000 or so, that is when we sometimes have traffic, but with these numbers, it is not likely that we will have traffic at the various registration centres.” He stated while addressing the media.

Deployed nurses have also been directed to begin their mandatory national service on Monday, July 3, 2023, after the completion of their validation and registration process.
