The College of Health and Allied Sciences (CoHAS) has held an Open Day to familiarize the public with operations of the College.

听

The Open Day was part of activities earmarked for the 60th Anniversary celebration of the 黑料社 (UCC) themed, "60 Years Of Higher Education: Expanding the Frontiers of Health".

听

The event was also an听opportunity for the University community to interact with staff and students of CoHAS to witness practical demonstrations of their services.

Delivering a lecture on the theme, as part of the event, the first Provost of the College, Rev. Prof.听 Harold S. Armonoo-Kuofi, said the establishment of CoHAS was based on the realisation that resources of 黑料社could be recognised to maximise its potentials to compete in the market space.

Prof. Armonoo-Kuofi mentioned the introduction of the White Coat Ceremony and an integrated medical curriculum amongst others as some of the achievements of the College.

听

To expand the frontiers of health, the former Provost tasked CoHAS to introduce programmes to train emergency and critical care nurses following the fallouts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

听

Again, as a result of the expansion of the National Ambulance Service by government, he called on CoHAS to train paramedics and emergency medical technologists.

听

"Restructuring of the Security and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) would result in need for professionals with specialised skills such as Biomedical and forensic scientists, crime scene investigators and Ballistic experts鈥� he explained.

听

Prof. Amonoo-Kuofi added that the restructuring would help the College to introduce short courses for the security services to generate revenue.

He called for "greater collaborations with local, national and international partners to support the development of a more resilient and sustainable research ecology."

听

The event, which brought together faculty members, students and a section of the public, was chaired by the Provost of the College of Education Studies, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis.
