The event, according to the Founder and President of FHMS, Prof. Enyoman Yao Kwawukume, was to prove to the potential students and their guardians that the school had the required facilities to operate effectively.
He assured the potential students that they would not be disadvantaged by attending a private medical school.
According to Prof. Kwawukume, the academic year for the first batch of students starts on January 4, 2016.
He said admission was still in progress and reminded potential students who had not submitted their forms or awaiting results that they had a grace period of six weeks from the date of reopening to apply.
Prof Kwawukume also indicated that “the authorities were putting measures in place to help sponsor brilliant needy students.”
He said the students would also benefit from free Wi-Fi at any part of the campus for easy communication.
A key activity of the day was an Information Session, during which potential students were introduced to the school’s programmes, lecturers and other key members of staff.
