Site Engineer Jude Dery guided the members through the various sections of the hospital under construction. Mr. Dery highlighted that the project is progressing two months ahead of schedule, with the first phase expected to be completed by July 2025.

Expressing his satisfaction, Prof. Kwasi Nsiah-Gyabaah commended the ongoing projects, emphasizing their importance in enhancing the University’s infrastructure.
