About Family Health University

Family Health University (FHU) in Accra, Ghana is a private university focused on health education, research, and clinical service. Originally founded in 1997 as a small diagnostic centre, it grew over time into a hospital, then expanded into a Nursing & Midwifery School and established Ghana’s first private medical school. In 2024, FHU was awarded a Presidential Charter, giving it full autonomy to award its own degrees, diplomas, and certificates, making it the first private university in Ghana with this status in the health sciences.

The university combines academic training with practical healthcare experience through its own hospital, giving students hands-on clinical exposure. Its mission is to improve human health by providing quality education, engaging in mission-oriented research, and delivering effective healthcare services. FHU emphasizes values such as innovation, lifelong learning, leadership, professionalism, compassion, and diversity, preparing future doctors, nurses, and other health professionals to serve their communities with integrity and excellence.
