The Nursing and Midwifery Council has urged the public to be wary of fake Facebook accounts using its logo and operating illegally with the intention of defrauding unsuspecting Ghanaians.
According to the Council, the fake account with name, Nurses and Midwifery Council, operates by circulating correspondences targeted at innocent citizens and “falsely requesting nursing and midwifery trainees and practitioners to call some unidentified telephone numbers to transact business on behalf of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana.”
“The Registrar and Management of the Council wish to state categorically that the Facebook page operating with its logo and the name Nurses and Midwifery Council is not the official Facebook page of the Nursing And Midwifery Council Of Ghana,” a statement from the Council cautioned.
The Council further urged the public to visit its website, www.nmc.gov.gh or its official handle on Facebook for official information.
Below is the full statement from the Council:
DISCLAIMER
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana’s attention has been drawn to a fraudulent Facebook page using its official logo and operating with the name Nurses and Midwifery Council in an attempt to fraudulently secure unlawful gain on behalf of the Council.
Several correspondences targeting innocent citizens are being circulated falsely requesting nursing and midwifery trainees and practitioners to call some unidentified telephone numbers to transact business on behalf of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana.
The Registrar and Management of the Council wish to state categorically that the Facebook page operating with its logo and the name Nurses and Midwifery Council is not the official Facebook page of the NURSING AND MIDWIFERY COUNCIL OF GHANA.
The Council would, therefore, like to caution the general public especially nursing and midwifery trainees and practitioners that any information displayed on the Nurses and Midwifery Council Facebook page is not from the NURSING AND MIDWIFERY COUNCIL OF Ghana, hence any person who transacts business with the managers of the page do so at their own risk.
Members of the public are to note that all announcements and information emanating from the Nursing and Midwifery Council will be published on its website, Facebook page and other official social media handles.
The public is therefore advised to visit the Council’s official website (www.nmc.gov.gh) or contact the following numbers and social media handles for further information about the Council.
