National Service Authority Issues PIN Codes to 18,011 Nurses and Midwives for 2025/2026 Service Year
The National Service Authority (NSA) has released Personal Identification Number (PIN) codes to 18,011 newly trained nurses and midwives as part of the enrollment process for their mandatory national service in the 2025/2026 service year.
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 17, 2025, the NSA notified all eligible candidates that they can now retrieve their PIN codes by visiting the official NSA website. To access the codes, individuals need to provide their student ID numbers and dates of birth.
This release marks the official start of the enrollment process for newly qualified nurses and midwives across Ghana, who will soon begin their national service duties. The PIN codes are essential for completing the registration, which is the first step in being deployed to various service areas.
As part of the registration requirements, applicants must make a payment of GH¢40 at any ADB Bank branch or GH¢41 via MTN Mobile Money. The registration system opened immediately following the announcement and is set to close on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Those who fail to complete the process before the deadline risk missing out on deployment for this year’s service.
The NSA has strongly advised all eligible nurses and midwives to ensure they finalize their registration within the provided period to avoid complications. Individuals who do not complete the registration will not be considered for national service in the 2025/2026 cohort, which may affect their career prospects and professional development.
Additionally, the NSA reminded the public that national service is a statutory requirement for all Ghanaian citizens aged 18 and above who have completed tertiary education, including programs at Nursing Training Colleges. This is mandated under the National Service Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1119), which outlines the compulsory nature of the service for eligible graduates across various disciplines.
Felix Gyamfi, Director-General of the NSA, reassured the public of the Authority’s dedication to providing an efficient registration process. He emphasized that the NSA is committed to ensuring that all personnel experience a smooth and hassle-free registration and enrollment experience. Gyamfi also encouraged all service personnel to adhere to the registration deadline to guarantee their inclusion in the upcoming service year.
Established in 1973, the National Service Scheme (NSS) has been instrumental in the country’s development by engaging Ghanaian graduates in national service. The NSS deploys young professionals to various sectors of the economy, where they contribute to the advancement of the nation while gaining practical work experience. It also plays a crucial role in promoting civic responsibility and community service among Ghana’s youth.
As Ghana continues to face challenges related to public health and infrastructure, the participation of newly trained nurses and midwives in the national service program is of paramount importance. These health professionals will play a key role in meeting the country’s healthcare needs, particularly in rural areas and communities with limited access to medical services.
In light of the ongoing demand for qualified professionals in Ghana’s healthcare sector, the enrollment of 18,011 nurses and midwives into the National Service Scheme is a significant step toward addressing the country’s health challenges. Their contributions during the 2025/2026 service year will be essential in supporting the government’s efforts to improve healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved regions.
With the registration deadline quickly approaching, the NSA has urged all nurses and midwives to ensure they complete the process in a timely manner. The smooth execution of the registration process is vital for ensuring that eligible personnel are deployed to the appropriate service areas and are able to begin their national service assignments without delays.
