$5 million learning facility for Cape Coast University
President John Evans Atta Mills has inaugurated a $ 5m facility for the University of Cape Coast Medical School in the Central Region.
The Clinical Teaching Centre which has 13 offices, lecture halls and three pavilions including an ultra modern diagnostic centre is currently under construction at the Central Regional Hospital.
The Diagnostic Centre will serve as the training ground for the medical sciences to avoid students travelling to Korle-Bu in Accra or Komfo Anokye in Kumasi for the same purpose.
Funds for the construction of the facilities were provided by Airtel Ghana.
Inaugurating the Centre, President John Evans Atta Mills pledged the government’s support towards making the Central Regional Hospital a Teaching school.
The President assured the university authorities his full support to ensure that the application made to the Ministry of Health requesting that the facility is upgraded into a teaching hospital would be done.
Ghana currently has two teaching hospitals in Accra and Kumasi and offer training to the medical students to serve the country’s medical needs.
