The Cameroon Performance Awards has found the Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences Bamenda a worthy recipient of its mark of recognition. During an Award Event that took place at the School campus on Wednesday October 7th, Mr Nkwain Joseph, Director of the Higher Institute said the recognition was certainly due to the stainless top quality results that the school had registered in its ten years of existence.
"This institution was created ten years ago and since then it has always scored a hundred percent in all examinations be it examinations organised by the Ministry of Higher Education or the Ministry of Public Health. Under the Ministry of Public Health we train State Registered Nurses and Nursing Assistants and under the Ministry of Higher Education we have been training HND candidates in Biomedical Sciences and throughout we have been scoring a hundred percent. Last year, we were ranked the best school in the whole Republic of Cameroon as far as the HND is concerned and I am sure that all of this has contributed to our success."
Mr Nkwain Joseph further explained that the Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Bamenda. "As a Higher Institution of Learning, we are not a full fledged University and we can only offer certain specialties in collaboration with State Universities and that is why we have signed this partnership with the University of Bamenda so that we can extend our programmes to the Bachelor Degree and maybe later to the Masters and why not PHD" he explained.
He called on students interested in the Biomedical Sciences to take the Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences as their priority adding that it was the quality of the products of the school that has been attracting attention from different quarters in the Cameroonian society. "We don't advertise but students still come here. You should have noticed that we don't even have a notice board. If the CBC Health Services select our students, then it means our products are of top quality."
Dr. Njini Rose, General Supervisor at the Bamenda Regional Hospital who was present at the Award Event said she had collaborated with the institution for long and was impressed by the quality of personnel that had been churned out from there. The Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services she said has also been making use of products from the Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences. This among other examples she said was an indication of the good work that was being done at the institution.
Present during the event was the staff of Flenhihbs and a cross section of some collaborators of the establishment.
