College
The Adventist College of Nursing (ACON) was established in 1993, now the Adventist College of Nursing and Health Sciences (ACNHS) offers a 3-year Diploma in Nursing and a 2-year Assistant Nurse Certificate Course.
It has been committed to educating knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate nursing professionals. All the alumni are employed in a variety of healthcare settings throughout the country as well as abroad. With the educational programmes, a long-standing tradition of providing quality healthcare education continues.
The ACNHS was first located in a four-story building, the Adventist Court, across the road from the Hospital. In November 1998, the College was relocated to a six-story building on the hospital compound. The strength of the institution lies in its ability to continue expanding because of the strong commitment to develop qualified and compassionate nurses.
