Statute overview

About this statute

This article creates the National Council of Nurses and Midwives and gives it legal personality plus administrative and financial autonomy. Nurses and midwives are classified into two professional categories: registered and associate. This article defines key nursing and midwifery terms and says nurses and midwives may practice in line with the training they received. The National Council is supervised by the Ministry in charge of health. The National Council’s headquarters is in Kigali, may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if needed, and the Board may meet and make decisions anywhere if at least two-thirds of its members approve.
