Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton, is encouraging local registered nurses (RNs) to take advantage of the Dr Barry Wint Memorial Scholarship to pursue specialised training in high-demand fields.
He noted that this year, the ministry has allocated $900 million to train 600 nurses across various medical disciplines.
Scholarship recipients will be required to serve within the national health system for a minimum of three years after completing their studies, helping to ensure that critical healthcare facilities retain highly trained professionals.
