NSA Releases PIN Codes for 6,867 Nurses and Midwives Ahead of 2026/2027 National Service Year
The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced the release of Personal Identification Number (PIN) codes for 6,867 nurses and midwives to enable them to enrol for the 2026/2027 National Service Year.
The announcement was contained in a press release issued by the Authority on Sunday, January 19, 2026. According to the NSA, the release of the PIN codes follows the successful submission of a comprehensive list of qualified nurses and midwives by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana (NMC) on January 16, 2026.
The Authority explained that the list comprises candidates who successfully passed the March/April 2025 Licensing Examinations (minor season) organized by the Council. These candidates have therefore met the professional requirements necessary to proceed with their mandatory national service.
In line with established procedures, eligible nurses and midwives are required to visit the Authority’s official website, www.nsa.gov.gh, where they can access the national service portal to retrieve their individual PIN codes. Applicants will be required to use their Student Identification (ID) numbers and dates of birth to complete the process.
The NSA further outlined that, as part of the enrolment process, prospective service personnel must pay a non-refundable registration fee of GH¢41.00. Payment is to be made through Mobile Money on all networks, after which applicants will gain full access to the online enrolment platform to complete their registration.
The Authority noted that the enrolment exercise officially commenced on Monday, January 19, 2026, and is expected to end on Friday, January 23, 2026. Eligible applicants have therefore been urged to complete their registration within the stipulated timeframe to avoid any complications or disqualification from the service year.
The NSA also cautioned applicants to rely solely on official communication channels for information and to avoid third parties who may attempt to exploit prospective service personnel during the registration process.
Reiterating the legal basis for the exercise, the Authority reminded the public that under the National Service Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1119), every Ghanaian citizen aged 18 years and above who has completed an accredited tertiary institution—including universities, colleges of education, and nursing training colleges—is statutorily required to undertake national service to the State.
The national service programme remains a key component of Ghana’s human resource development strategy, offering newly qualified professionals the opportunity to gain practical experience while contributing to national development, particularly in critical sectors such as health, education, and local governance.
