The first ever newly trained doctors from a private tertiary Institution in Ghana have  graduated and been inducted into service in Accra.

The 30 new doctors will augment the country’s doctor to patient ratio at a time when the global community is battling the novel COVID-19 virus.

The doctors trained at the Family Health Medical School went through six years of vigorous medical training.

 

The Founder and President of the Family Health University College, Prof. Enyonam Yao Kwawukume, said with the knowledge and skills from the highly esteemed Professional Faculty of the School to the students, Ghanaians should expect nothing less than highly professional, dedicated, and well qualified skills from the 30 new doctors.

Co-founder of the school, Dr. Susu Bridget Kwawukume, said being the first private medical institution in the country, it will continue to provide and produce well qualified doctors in Ghana to help bridge the patient-doctor ratio.

Each year, Family Health Medical School admits candidates at two entry levels: Undergraduate applicants at Level 100, for a six-year MBChB programme; and Graduate applicants at Level 300, for a four and half-year Bachelor of Medicine and surgery degree, MBChB programme.
The Graduate Entry Medical Programme (GEMP) is the first and only one offered by a private medical school in West Africa.
