about the library

The Family Health University Library which is the heart of the private premier medical institution, was set up to provide the information and research needs of the University College community.

The library affairs support the college mission by providing materials, services, and facilities to improve student enrollment, retention and success and to motivate faculty members through teaching, learning, research and service.  Since the Vision of the University College is to be a prime centre for the education and training of health professionals, for the advancement of human health., the Library provides accurate, current, relevant and timely information to empower users.

A higher percentage of the Library’s collection is funded from the University College’s budget.  However, we receive donations from donors’ both in Ghana and abroad.  We also have E-book Service and an Electronic Catalogue both built in-house and powered by the KOHA Library Management Software.
