Speaker Bagbin commends UBIDS for steady growth amid infrastructure challenges, assures of gov’t support

Speaker Bagbin said he had taken a particular interest in the proposed medical school and was already working to support the Upper West Regional Hospital to attain teaching hospital status as part of preparations for the programme.“I also initiated a partnership between UBIDS and the Medical University of Ajman in the United Arab Emirates, aimed at opening up a medical school to enable the university train critical health personnel for the Upper West Region and beyond,” he added.

Speaker Bagbin said he was aware of the university’s urgent need for a perimeter wall to prevent encroachment and improve security, adding that government’s broader effort to complete stalled tertiary education projects should bring relief to the institution within the next two years.
