The Council Chairman appealed to the government to deliver its side of the agreement – the construction of the internal roads of the main campus, as well as its central laboratory.

Professor John Owusu Gyapong, Vice Chancellor, reported a growth in student population even through the pandemic, from 4,989 in the 2018/2019 academic year, to 5,717 during the 2020/2021 year.

He said a new hall of residence had been completed, funded with the internal generated funds (IGF) of the University, and appealed that the GETFund expedited work on the Hohoe Campus.

The Vice Chancellor said the University had over the past four years faced no restrictions on staff recruitments, which led to a meteoric rise from 200 to over 800, and a student ratio of 20:1.

He said graduates had benefited from “excellent” training, producing some of the best skills on the field, and assured that the University would continue to provide opportunities for many in the health service, who sought higher education.

Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, Minister of Energy, and who was a special guest at the ceremony, said the government considered the Institution a key structure within its healthcare system, and would provide the necessary support.
