Ghana is on the cusp of a significant breakthrough in healthcare education, as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo prepares to commission the largest school of nursing and midwifery in sub-Saharan Africa.
This groundbreaking development is part of the University of Health and Allied Sciences’ (UHaS) Phase II expansion in Ho, Ghana.
Deputy Minister for Education John Ntim Fordjour announced the project’s completion, highlighting its cutting-edge features.
These include an ultra-modern skills laboratory, multiple lecture halls with a total seating capacity of 2,500, and a multi-purpose central administration complex.
The facility’s design and infrastructure are poised to revolutionize nursing and midwifery education in Ghana.
Ntim Fordjour expressed his privilege in accompanying President Akufo-Addo to cut the sod for the $68 million project in September 2021.
He looks forward to joining the President for the commissioning ceremony on July 29, 2024.
This milestone underscores President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to enhancing healthcare education and leaving a lasting legacy in the sector.
The new facility will provide a world-class learning environment for nursing and midwifery students, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to excel in their fields.
This development has far-reaching implications for Ghana’s healthcare sector, as it prepares to address the complex challenges of the 21st century.
