Company Description
Uganda Nurses and Midwives Examinations Board (UNMEB) is a semi-autonomous Government body that was established in December 2005 by Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) with a cardinal objective of streamlining, regulating and coordinating examinations and awards for Nurses and Midwives in Uganda. This followed Government restructuring policy where all departmental schools were transferred to MoES with the intention of streamlining training Programmes in the country.
The training of health workers was identified to fall within the core business of MoES. The Nursing and Midwifery assessment is defined in the Business, Technical, Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) Act No. 12 of 2008 and operationalised by Statutory Instrument No. 4 of 2009; these being the appropriate laws that gave a legal basis for the establishment of the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Examinations Board (UNMEB) and also, spelt out its core mandate of regulating the conduct of National examinations for Nurses and Midwives.
