Voltarians Jubilate As Akuffo Addo Graces The 10th Anniversary Of UHAS

President Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo was in the Volta Regional capital, Ho today. Wondering why? Don’t worry, I got you covered.

The University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho celebrates it’s tenth anniversary today and President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo was the guest of honour alongside North Tongu MP, Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwah and other eminent members of the health sector.

Having the President in your region is undoubtedly a great honour for the people of the Volta Region as they welcomed him with scintillating Voltarian Music and dance.

Below was President Akuffo Addo’s comments after gracing the occasion.

“On Friday, 15th July 2022, I was at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), in Ho, to attend the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the University. 

UHAS is pursuing aggressively the realisation of its agenda of becoming our nation’s pre-eminent health learning and teaching institution, dedicated to research and community service. The evidence is in the great strides it has chalked in health research, in being ranked amongst the top three (3) Universities in Ghana, and, also, being named number one in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2022 in the SDG-3 category in Ghana.

I also inspected ongoing work on $60 million Phase Two Expansion Project of the University, whose sod I cut in September last year. As a demonstration of our commitment to this project, Government has made available GH¢6.2 million of counterpart funding for the preliminary works, which covers extension of electricity, municipal water supply, construction of storm and waste drains, and all ancillary services required for the project implementation.  

Eight months on, I am happy to note that the Phase II Project, which will accommodate the Central Administration of the University and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, is progressing steadily according to schedule. Some thirty six percent (36.3%) of work has been completed, and, at this rate, I am convinced that work will be completed on time.”
