What midwifery involves

Midwifery is a healthcare profession focused on caring for women during pregnancy, labour, and the period after birth. Students learn to monitor the health of mother and baby, assist with deliveries, provide newborn care, and offer family planning and reproductive health advice. The programme builds practical skills in clinical observation, emergency response, and patient communication, alongside a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and public health.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to midwifery programmes in Ghana varies by institution. At Pentecost University, this degree is less competitive compared to the same programme at institutions like the University of Health and Allied Sciences or KNUST, where places are highly competitive. This means your chances of admission may be better, but you still need to meet the academic requirements set by the university.

Where midwifery can take you

Midwifery graduates are in demand across Ghana's health sector. Most go on to work as midwives in government hospitals, private clinics, or community health centres. Others move into maternal health education, reproductive health advocacy, or further training to become nurse-midwives or public health specialists. The qualification also opens doors in health policy and programme management.
