institution, thus ensuring effective and efficient graduate

linked to poverty and HIV/AIDS.
To this end key objectives of NHTC

training of health professionals so that they can render
optimal health services in line with primary health care;

Paray
School
of
Nursing
Assistants
Background
In
the 1930’s medical and nursing services at Paray hospital
were offered by church volunteers and thanks to their
dedication training for nurse assistants commenced in 1977.
The school started off by enrolling 15 students
annually. In
1999, with assistance from the Development Corporation
Ireland
,
the school was expanded to accommodate 52 students.
This expansion has facilitated consideration of male
students for enrolment in this course.
Mission
& objectives
Paray
School
of Nursing is located in the district of Thaba-Tseka and is
linked to
Paray
Hospital
.
The school is a non-profit making institution run by
the Roman Catholic Church which aims to respond to the basic
manpower needs for the effective delivery of health services
in the country. Key
objectives of this institution include the provision of
holistic quality nursing training for students of all
denominations around the country; to produce competent and
dedicated nursing graduates as well as to adhere to
curriculum requirements and provision of necessary resources
to facilitate teaching and learning. Some of the key
challenges facing this institution are the lack of transport
for carrying students to undertake outreach services in the
community, as part of their training.
Most of the students study under difficult
circumstances as they receive no financial aid from the
National Manpower Development Secretariat, thus affecting
their ability to purchase books and other supplies.
Possibilities of introducing a Diploma Course in
Nursing are currently being explored.
