The focus at this stage is on the development of a next generation MyNMBI system and associated architecture to meet the increasing volumes of applications, provide for the optimum, streamlined and most efficient experience for our existing registered nurses and midwives base and new applicants, as well as optimising the processes at the CRM back-end.
