Family Health Medical School grateful to President Mahama

Ghana’s premier private medical school, Family Health Medical School, has expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama for including the school in the recent distribution of vehicles to educational institutions in the country.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, the President of the school, Prof. Yao Kwawukume, said the presentation was a manifestation of the President's recognition of the contribution of the private sector to the development of Ghana.

During the inaugural matriculation of the medical school earlier this year, President Mahama emphasised his government’s commitment to partnering and assisting the private sector to develop medical education. 

Prof. Kwawukume indicated that the bus would enable the hospital and medical students to embark on free medical outreach programmes in rural communities.
