Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences, Nkwen, Bamenda was founded in October, 2009. Its founding members, mostly former teachers of the Training Schools for Health Personnel had during their career formed a social group called “Nkwen Colleagues”. It was during one of their meetings that the idea to create a school for the training of health personnel came up. Its members observed that there was generally man power shortage in the field and that there was a dire need to hand down professional and technical skills to its graduates. The founding members, whose names appear below, were very qualified persons and had had several years of working experience in the health domain especially the training of nurses, midwives, laboratory technicians, sanitary technicians and other specialties for health and development.

It was their vision to foster in this school the ideals of professional training and education for young enthusiastic Cameroonians without discrimination, who would administer high standard and quality care to its clients. They considered that the training of health professionals should be a calling and not just a business.
Members were thus determined to develop and use curriculums that would be used to train health personnel who will, in the field, be capable of working to meet the health – related millennium development goals which included maternal and child health, fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other endemic diseases.
This means that our graduates will be able to respond to the health needs of individuals, families or groups in the domain of promotive, preventive, curative, re-adaptive or rehabilitative care, taking into consideration the biological, psychological and sociocultural and spiritual dimensions of their personality.
Our Vision
To train and educate health personnel who will respect the ethics and deontology of the professions and develop competencies required to provide patient – centered and quality health care and in due course develop FLENHIHBS to serve as a research center.
Specific Objectives: More specifically, Florence Nightingale Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences has the following objectives.
- To select young and dynamic Cameroonians with a career commitment to the profession of their choice who have potential for developing needed competencies and attitudes appropriate for professionals at various levels.
- To provide learning opportunities which reflect sensitivity to the health care needs for all people – new-borns, adolescents, adults, elderly persons without discrimination.
