KUALA LUMPUR: The moratorium on new diploma-level nursing courses at private higher education institutions, which has been in effect since 2010, will end on Aug 1, says Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapha Sakmud.
He stated that the Cabinet made the decision to lift the moratorium on July 5 after a series of discussions between the Higher Education Ministry and the Health Ministry regarding the shortage of registered nurses in the country.
