Speaking to GBC’s Radio Ghana on the issue, PRO of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Nana Boateng Agyeman said the accused was arrested after his supervisor called for investigations into his credentials when concerns were raised about his performance.
Mr. Boateng Agyeman insisted that his organisation operates a strong system.
