West Godavari 534275, Andhra Pradesh is recognized by State Government of Andhra Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh Nurses & Midwives Council to conduct GNM Course. Whereas, a notice no. 18-02/15072-INC dated 01/06/2023 for withdrawal of Recognition under section 14 of Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 addressed to Principal Secretary, Health Medical and Family Welfare Deptartment, Government of Andhra Pradesh, 5th Block, Ground Floor, Room No. 157, A.P. Secretariat Velagapudi, Amaravathi 522503, Andhra Pradesh was issued. Copy of the notice dated 01/06/2023 was also enclosed to Narsaspur Christian Hospital School of Nursing situated at Narsaspuram, Narsapur, Distt. West Godavari 534275, Andhra Pradesh. In the notice issued, the State Government was requested to submit their recommendations to the Council as respects Suitability of the nursing institution. Whereas, the Council has not received any recommendation from the State Government as respects the case of Narsaspur Christian Hospital School of Nursing, Andhra Pradesh. Even the institution Narsaspur Christian Hospital School of Nursing has not responded to the notices issued. Whereas, the Council has considered the matter in its entirety. Perusal of the inspection report dated 23/02/2023 would show that the institution is deficient in many respects especially those relating to deficiencies i.e., clinical and teaching facilities. These are serious deficiencies which constitute that the institution is unable to run GNM Course. Now therefore, the Council exercising powers under section 14(3)(b) declares that with effect from 22/09/2023 any person holding a recognized qualification of GNM from Narsaspur Christian Hospital School of Nursing situated at Narsaspuram, Narsapur, Distt. West Godavari 534275, Andhra Pradesh shall be entitled to be registered only in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Lt. Col (Dr.) SARVJEET KAUR Secy.
