The Uganda Nurses and Midwives Council (UNMC) is a statutory body mandated to regulate, supervise, and ensure the quality of nursing and midwifery services in Uganda, with a mission to protect the public through effective regulation and promotion of excellence in nursing and midwifery education and practice. Widely recognized for upholding high professional standards, UNMC has earned national and international respect as a key institution in enhancing healthcare delivery and patient safety. The Council fosters a professional, ethical, and collaborative work environment that values competence, continuous learning, and accountability, offering career opportunities in regulation, training, inspection, and policy development, with structured and merit-based work arrangements.

Established under the Nurses and Midwives Act of 1996, UNMC has grown into a modern regulatory authority, adapting to the evolving healthcare landscape through digitized registration systems, updated curricula oversight, and strengthened licensing frameworks. With a countrywide reach through regional offices and partner institutions, UNMC impacts thousands of professionals and health facilities annually. Its core values—integrity, transparency, professionalism, and service excellence—guide its operations and interactions.
