He encouraged the graduates to never shun serving in rural and deprived areas knowing that, they are building capacity for their professional development. “Work with other people to create innovative and lasting solutions that will serve future generations and never be tired to try again even if at first you do not succeed”.
Prof. Yao Kwawukume made this known when speaking at Congregation 2023 of Family Health Medical School and Family Health Nursing & Midwifery School, held at the forecourt of the Family Health University College in Accra.
Prof. Kwawukume further entreated the graduating students to remember the support and guidance of their professors, lecturers and mentors, and also to be good ambassadors of Family Health University College. He said, “As you move forward, take the lessons you’ve learned here — not just the academic ones but also the values of leadership, integrity, compassion, and social responsibility, and apply them to make the world a better place. Remain resolute in the pursuit of your dreams and never see this graduation as an end in itself but rather as a means to climb higher on the ladder of excellence”.
Prof. Enyonam Kwawukume further expressed his profound gratitude to partners and Sponsors from the University of Michigan, who joined FHUC in honouring the graduating class of 2023. He thanked Prof. Timothy R. B. Johnson, and his team for their continued support to the Family Health University College.
