Malawi government through the ministry of health has urged nurses to be entrepreneurs arguing that government cannot manage to employ all the graduating students in the country.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for St Joseph and St Luke Nursing Colleges, principal secretary for the ministry of health McPhail Magwira urged the nurses to have creative minds that can help them to be entrepreneurs.
“If you got me correctly in my speech, I was urging them to be entrepreneurs, because we can’t manage to employ them all, today we have over 300 graduates, last time we had over 1000 nurses who graduated as well,” said Magwira.
He added that the nurses can still help in serving Malawians by working in other hospitals within the country.
“But this doesn’t mean that they are to go outside the country, we have private hospitals that might need their skills, and they can come up with something in the world of entrepreneurship, we can benefit a lot as a country,” added Magwira.
Following financial woes in the country, government announced that it has temporarily stopped employing people to work as civil servants. During the 2016/17, budget presentation Malawi minister of finance Goodall Gondwe said government is to employ teachers only to work as civil servants in the country.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk bona
This z hell, even institutions needs to close
The government has lost its direction, why train nurses, doctors, clinical officers, medical assistants, only to be told no job .what a waste government.
We need to look both sides of the coin… Do we have enough hospitals where these nurses can work? It has been my observation more people are trained as nurses but few hospitals. Again if we look into other departments ie Police, Army, etc these departments train or recruit according to the need. So i see no reason why the Gvt should be blamed
This is not the time using our Education to get jobs.. Use your education for business. Wakeup guys!!!
Tell me the type of business someone trained as a nurse can do.
Inno Dongolosi I can’t tell the type of business… When you go for a course DONT expect only to be employed, but a course you can do your own things……
I was thinking about a busnes a nurse from schoil can do.
It depends if a nurse can.. If not then go somewhere u can be employed…. Otherwise then jobless after spending more money for the course!
Nurses deal with human lives so i dont se any business apart from working in health sectors
Unless he or she has capital to do another business
Thats the disadvantage of being specialized in one thing.. No job no capital for the business hence nothing…
