President John Dramani Mahama says the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) will soon be expanded with new campuses in the Volta Region to boost healthcare training and job creation.
The initiative, he explained, is part of efforts to produce more qualified medical professionals while also opening up global employment opportunities for Ghanaian youth.
President Mahama shared this update during an engagement with the Volta Region House of Chiefs at the Flagstaff House.
He said the government was working to put the university’s expansion back on track following delays in recent years.
According to him, the additional campuses will help meet growing demand for healthcare services locally and abroad.
“This will allow us to train more health professionals who can take advantage of international opportunities,” he said, adding that countries such as Barbados and the Bahamas have already shown interest in hiring Ghanaian doctors and nurses.
He also noted that the expansion forms part of a larger plan to develop the region’s human capital and strengthen its role in national development.
President of the Volta Region House of Chiefs, Togbe Tepre Hodo IV, described the news as timely and welcomed the focus on health and education.
He assured the government of the house of chiefs’ support in helping the initiative succeed.
The visit touched on several other regional priorities, including agriculture, infrastructure, chieftaincy, and education, with both sides pledging continued collaboration for the region’s growth.

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.
