Overview

Auxiliary Nurse & Midwife (ANM) is a diploma-level healthcare course designed to train students in providing basic nursing care, maternal health support, and community healthcare services. The course is ideal for individuals passionate about serving people, especially in rural and underserved areas.

Typically spanning 2 years (including a 6-month internship), the ANM program focuses on primary medical care, child health, immunization, first aid, family planning, and community health education. Students learn to assist in childbirth, provide postnatal care, and support health awareness campaigns at the grassroots level.
