President John Dramani Mahama says plans are underway to convert the Kintampo College of Health into the University of Health, Agriculture and Life Sciences at Kintampo in the Bono East Region.The proposed university would be a higher education institution with focus on health sciences including medical allied health and public health.President Mahama disclosed this at Kintampo, on Thursday as part of his thank-you tour of the Bono East Region to show gratitude to the chiefs and people for his electoral victory last year.He said the university would be dedicated to training healthcare professionals and conducting research in the areas of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health.President Mahama also stated that a technical university would be established in Techiman, noting that a site has been secured at Oforikrom in the Techiman Municipality for the commencement of the project.The government, he noted, believes that technical education is essential for industrial growth and will help bridge the skills gap while creating employment opportunities for the country's teeming youth.He assured the people that he would not betray the faith they had in him and made a solemn promise to fulfill the commitments he made during the electioneering campaign."My visit today is not simply ceremonial; it is one of gratitude, reflection, and renewed commitment to duty.
As my in-laws, your overwhelming support in the 2024 elections was deeply felt.
You stood strongly behind me.
You voted for the reset agenda, for truth, unity, and development.
