The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has promised financial support to complete the long-delayed Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Teaching Hospital. Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu disclosed this assurance during a courtesy visit from a delegation from KNUST's management. The project, which began in 2007, has been delayed for nearly two decades due to funding constraints and administrative challenges.
Its completion is anticipated to improve teaching and learning at the university while expanding healthcare access for surrounding communities. The Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, along with the delegation, expressed gratitude for the Education Minister's support, which was also a platform to discuss collaboration in advancing STEM education, research, and university-student accommodation solutions.
This development is seen as a step towards KNUST's goal of becoming a leading institution for science, technology, and innovation, with strong partnerships with government and industry being crucial for translating academic research into practical national development outcomes.
