She called for unity, commitment and responsible leadership to advance the objectives of the forum.
The newly elected President-General, Nana Asiedu Keteke, assured members that his administration would work to achieve greater results and expand the organisation’s impact across the sub-region.
Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Dee Otibu Asare stressed the importance of responsible leadership, unity and collaboration in promoting development and strengthening ties among people and institutions across East and West Africa.
One of the newly inducted members, Dr Ben Tutu of Benedak Herbal Clinic and Research Centre in Ho, said he was honoured by the induction and expressed his commitment to contributing to the work of the forum.
The ceremony ended with the presentation of certificates to the newly inducted members and Governing Council members, followed by a networking session.
