The World Bank Family Network has donated assorted books to the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) through the instrumentality of Prof. John Owusu Gyapong, the immediate Past Vice Chancellor of the University.

During his sabbatical leave at Georgetown University, Prof. Gyapong secured a significant educational donation of a 40-foot container of books for Ghana.

UHAS thus received thirty-two (32) boxes of educational materials that cuts across various disciplines. Twenty-two (22) boxes were allocated to the Main University Library, while ten (10) boxes was for the UHAS Basic School.

This donation reflects Prof. Gyapong’s commitment to enhance the fluency of English language among students, especially in Ghana.
