Nine medical students have graduated from the Accra College of Medicine (ACM) after a successful completion of their programme.
The graduation ceremony which was the fifth in the history of ACM, took place at the Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research, University of Ghana, on Saturday, December 2.
The ceremony was under the theme, “The dilemma of the newly graduated doctor in a challenging environment: Do l stay or do l go?”
The Chairman of ACM Council, Emeritus Prof. Stephen Adei, noted that Ghanaians were looking forward to the private sector to lead the way in the country’s educational programme.
He said ACM with its commitment to pursuing excellence in the medical field and making a difference in the lives of others with compassion, empathy, joy, love among others, must be seen as a pace setter.
He said this was necessary because the public universities were faced with a myriad of challenges which included over enrollment, coupled with inadequate infrastructure to commensurate with the high demand by students.
Prof. Adei was of the view that irrespective of its numerous criticisms, the free Senior High School policy has been a game changer in the country’s educational programme.
The guest speaker, Prof. Margaret Lartey, in her keynote address, said though the challenges of low remuneration, unavailability of equipment to work with, frustrations in progression in the medical field which had existed in the past were still there, they should stay in the country and contribute their quota to the welfare of their families, and communities who had contributed immensely towards their education.
She said others who had gone to work abroad were confronted with high taxes which eventually eroded their emoluments.
Prof. Lartey advised those who would get the opportunity to read specialists programmes abroad that they should quickly return to Ghana to assist in the health needs of the people.
The President of ACM, Prof. Afua Adwo Jectey Hesse, said the university operated on a robust programme which has equipped the students with the right attitude for their chosen profession.
She asked them to focus on excellence to enable them to achieve incredible heights in their medical career.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
