Minister Pillay

The Minister for Health, Mr Patrick Pillay, has pledged his ministry's total support to teachers of the National Institute for Health and Social Studies (NIHSS) for their recently launched five-year institutional development plan produced and being implemented by them.

Speaking in his message on the occasion of Teachers' Day celebrated on Sunday October 5, Minister Pillay also expresses his ministry’s desire to see that NIHSS teachers are provided with a brand new training facility to make their work an enriching experience, adding that his ministry is working hard to make this long overdue need a reality.

Noting it is now  5 years since the NIHSS has been reintegrated in the Ministry of Health, Minister Pillay says the training institution has remained an indispensable commodity and contributer to the development of heath care in Seychelles.

Noting that one of his ministry's top priorities is the sustainable development of human resources to meet its ultimate goal of ‘health for all and health by all’, Minister Pillay says that NIHSS teachers are in the forefront of this noble mission.

"On the occasion of the International Teachers’ Day, it is with great contentment I acknowledge your services as teachers in shaping the lives of the future health professional in our country. You have taken many strides in the overall development of your profession as teachers and improving the teaching and learning process along the way," Minister Pillays says in his message.

To conclude, Minister Pillay, on behalf of his ministry, congratulates the NIHSS teachers for their hard work and ask them to continue the good work and to take heed of the statement “He who stops being better, stops being good”.
