In her address to the graduates, she reminded them of their professional mission as they go into the employment world.
” Your mission is to administer treatment to the sick in hospitals, preventing and helping them recover from their illnesses. Your mission is also not to cause any harm, not to discriminate but treat everyone the same” she reminded the graduates.
” You are therefore going out as champions to treat patients in hospitals and this begins with good and friendly reception, collaboration with other professionals in the hospital and especially respect to your hierarchy,” she advised.
Professor Betty Best Mesame lauded the lecturers in the school for their relentless efforts to empower the young nurses with right skills that can stand the challenges of the profession wherever they find themselves.
She also thanked the parents for having confidence in ASSA.

For the students, it was a privilege studying in the school.
The student representative Kengo Yanick lauded the director général for ensuring that students study under excellent conditions with strict moral values, discipline and general well being.
