The Founder and President of Family Health University College(FHUC), Prof. Enyonam Yao Kwawukume has charged Family Health Medical School (FHMS) and Family Health Nursing & Midwifery School’s (FHNMS) graduating Class of 2023, to be mindful of their work ethics wherever they find themselves.

He said, "No matter where you find yourself, be willing to serve. Remember the health sector, especially the Ghanaian health sector needs your services more than ever".

He encouraged the graduands to never shun serving in rural and deprived areas knowing that, they are building capacity for their professional development.

"Work with other people to create innovative and lasting solutions that will serve future generations and never be tired to try again even if at first you do not succeed".

Prof. Kwawukume made this known when speaking at Congregation 2023 of Family Health Medical School and Family Health Nursing and Midwifery School, held at the forecourt of the Family Health University College in Accra.

Prof. Kwawukume further entreated the graduating students to remember the support and guidance of their professors, lecturers and mentors, and also to be good ambassadors of the College.

He said, "As you move forward, take the lessons you've learned here — not just the academic ones but also the values of leadership, integrity, compassion, and social responsibility, and apply them to make the world a better place. Remain resolute in the pursuit of your dreams and never see this graduation as an end in itself but rather as a means to climb higher on the ladder of excellence".

Prof. Kwawukume further expressed his profound gratitude to partners and Sponsors from the University of Michigan, who joined FHUC in honouring the graduating Class of 2023.

He thanked Prof. Timothy R. B. Johnson, and his team for their continued support to the Family Health University College. He mentioned that they had funded some of the students to research health-related issues, through the Schweitzer-Michi-Ghana Research Project.
