Speaking at the Nursing and Midwifery Training College at Kpembe in the Northern Region, President Mahama said his government will soon introduce an abated allowance scheme for the trainees. “As the student loan is currently structured, it does not allow professional institutions like yours to be able to take advantage of the loan. So the Ministry of Finance is working on that abated allowance and you will soon start receiving it. President Mahama also used the opportunity to explain to the nursing trainees some of the projects being undertaken in the health sector.
