STUDENTS URGED TO SHOW TOTAL COMMITMENT (PAGE 17)

THE Central Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwa-Doe, has admonished students and stakeholders in the Health Assistants Training School at Twifo Praso to show total commitment and devotion to the holistic development of the school.
Mrs Benyiwa-Doe said in the present circumstances when people had become individualistic, the stakeholders “have some soft spot for working for community development programmes”.
She was addressing a durbar of students of the school at the official opening and matriculation ceremony at Twifo Praso.
The occasion coincided with the inauguration of a five-member stakeholders committee.
Mrs Benyiwa-Doe said posterity beckoned the students and stakeholders to enhance the development of the school.
The school, which was established in September 2007 with the first batch of 150 students, now has a population of 375 with 150 in second year and 225 in the first year.
She reiterated the government's commitment towards improving health delivery system and advised the students to surmount the challenges which the new institution faced and be disciplined, focused, committed and dedicated for success to crown their efforts.
The Principal of the school, Mrs Abakah-Quansah, said the school lacked a dining hall, a means of transport, accommodation and computers and therefore called for support from all to ensure that it achieved its objectives.
Professor P. K. Buah-Bassuah, who inaugurated the stakeholders association, called for dedication and hard work from the members to enhance the development of the school.
The acting Regional Director of the Ghana Health Services, Nana Kwame Owusu Brempong, called on staff and students to complement each other’s efforts for the success of the school.
Nana Nkwantabisa, Chief of Nymasin, who chaired the function, called for an admission quota to be allotted to the youth in the catchment area of the school.
