The first batch of students of the School of Health and Medical Sciences of the Presbyterian University College has enrolled at the Ashanti Akim Campus of the University at Agogo in the Ashanti Region. They consist of 25 males and 28 females, some of them are coming from the West African Sub-Region. The University College has three campuses in Abetifi and Akropong in the Eastern Region and Agogo in the Ashanti Region. Professor Sraku Lartey, Principal, who inducted the students expressed his appreciation to the Agogo Presbyterian Church, for raising funds to build a hostel, the Agogo community for raising funds to mobilize resources to support the school and the Ashanti Akim North District Assembly for supplying cement and other facilities to enable the school to take off. Prof Lartey singled out for mention Nana Akuoko Sarpong, Omanhene of Agogo and the Agogo Traditional Council for their untiring effort in providing material resources, including accommodation without which the school could not have opened this year as planned. He also described the occasion as momentous in the nearly 200 years of the Church’s activities in the country, which were pioneered by the Basel Missionaries two centuries ago. He said Agogo was chosen for the medical school because of its long history of health care delivery that spanned nearly a century. Source: GNA
