The World Bank Family Network has donated assorted books to the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) through the instrumentality of Professor John Owusu Gyapong, the immediate Past Vice Chancellor of the University.
During his sabbatical leave at Georgetown University, Professor Gyapong secured a significant educational donation of a 40-foot container of books for the country.
This was as a result of his introduction to the book project by his colleague Professor Bernhard Liese, whose wife is connected to the World Bank Family Network.
While making the application, the former Vice Chancellor ensured that UHAS was a beneficiary institution, alongside some second-cycle institutions in Ghana.
UHAS received 32 boxes of educational materials that cut across various disciplines and 22 boxes were allocated to the Main University Library, while 10 boxes were for the UHAS Basic School.
The donation reflects Professor Gyapong’s commitment to enhance the fluency of English language among students, especially in Ghana.
Present at the handing over ceremony were the Vice Chancellor, Professor Lydia Aziato, the Registrar, Ms. Yaa Amankwaa Opuni, Deans and Directors.
Ms. Yaa Amankwaa Opuni, the Registrar expressed the gratitude of Management to Professor John Owusu Gyapong for his contributions and continued support to the development and growth of UHAS.
She also charged the leaderships of the University Library and the UHAS Basic School to maximise the use of the academic resources received.
Dr. Theresa Adu, the University Librarian, on her part appreciated Professor John Owusu Gyapong for the donation and promised to ensure that the materials would be used to serve their intended purpose.
