The Deputy Minister for Education, John Ntim Fordjour, has announced that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is poised to commission the largest school of nursing and midwifery in sub-Saharan Africa.
This monumental development is part of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHaS) in Ho, Ghana.

He elaborated that the project, known as Phase II of UHaS, is now complete and ready for commissioning.
The new facility boasts an ultra-modern skills laboratory, multiple lecture halls with a total seating capacity of 2,500 (including four halls seating 200 students each and 17 halls seating 100 students each), and a multi-purpose central administration complex, alongside ancillary facilities.
“I was privileged to accompany President Akufo-Addo to cut the sod for this $68 million project in September 2021, and will accompany the President to commission it on Monday, July 29, 2024,” Ntim-Fordjour added.
