Professional Association of Psychiatric Nurses - Ghana, PAPNG

04/04/2026

Professional Identity
Psychiatric nursing is not any nursing with a mental health rotation. It is a distinct clinical specialty demanding unique competencies, unique risks, and unique legal accountabilities.
Yet many of us are represented by unions that negotiate without understanding our work, the legislation we work with, or our reality.
PAPNG exists because psychiatric nurses deserve an association that speaks and understand what our work entails.
📌 If you are a psychiatric nurse in Ghana, this is your professional home.
