Barrister Misali emphasised that all the identified colleges for closure did not meet the requirements for establishing such training institutions.
He listed important components that are expected to be provided by a training health institution, including ten permanent health professional staff, a recreational centre, a sports field, and accommodation, among others.
“However, the affected colleges have the option to come forward and work with the ministry to complete all necessary procedures for establishing a college of health sciences and technology to obtain an operational permit.” He said.
