The Executive Committee of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) Alumni Association has paid a courtesy call on the Volta Regional Member of the Council of State, Dr Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, to congratulate him on his appointment and pledge their support for ongoing health development initiatives in the region.

Led by Alumni President Gabriel Kwabla Agbanyo, the delegation expressed their readiness to partner with Dr Kwamigah-Atokple, particularly in providing qualified health professionals for upcoming health screening exercises across the Volta Region.

Agbanyo noted that since its establishment in 2012, UHAS has produced over 15,000 medical practitioners, many of whom are serving across Ghana and beyond.

He also highlighted the pressing need for additional hostel facilities to accommodate the university’s growing student population.

“The university continues to expand, and the demand for accommodation far exceeds current capacity. We believe this can be addressed through private partnerships or government intervention,” the alumni president stated.

In response, Dr Kwamigah-Atokple commended the alumni association for its commitment to community health and pledged to collaborate closely with them.

“Discussions are already underway with potential investors under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) module to address the accommodation challenges in the region,” he assured, according to a Facebook post.

The delegation also invited Dr Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple to the UHAS Alumni Guest Lecture scheduled for November 21, which he gladly accepted.

“I encouraged them to continue making a positive impact wherever they serve.

“I also expressed my interest in partnering with them to produce a documentary showcasing the achievements of UHAS,” he added.

He lauded the Alumni for their proactive engagement, describing their efforts as vital to advancing education and healthcare in the Volta Region.

“#Volta rising with UHAS,” he remarked, reaffirming his commitment to supporting initiatives that uplift the region.
