Ensign Global University , now Africa’s first institution accredited by the U.S. Council on Education for Public Health, has pledged to intensify its training programs to improve the country’s public health sector at all levels. This was revealed during the 9th Congregation Ceremony of the university. The graduation ceremony saw 28 graduates awarded with Master’s degrees in Public Health, equipping them with skills to confront emerging public health challenges head-on. Speaking to the media, the President of Ensign Global University, Prof. Stephen C. Alder, indicated that graduates from Ensign Global University will continue to positively impact Ghanaian society. “We are so thrilled to be celebrating 10 years. We’ve had a terrific 10 years of developing our campus and academic programs, but even more so, our institution is about making an impact in the community and in the world. For our 10-year celebration, we’ve had multiple events, including yesterday, where we had a public lecture to bring in stakeholders to talk about the work we’re doing ranging from Health 2 Go, to our community work and cancer awareness, as well as our work in helping to bring better attention to important topics like flooding and illegal mining.”

According to Professor Alder, “Ten years is just the beginning. Ensign Global University has launched the Center for Leadership, Innovation, and Prosperity and is bringing in partners from the United States for business creation. We also have medical innovation partners and many other initiatives aimed at building prosperity.”

“Our focus, of course, is prosperity in Ghana, in West Africa, and throughout the world. Our graduates are those agents that are going to go out and help make this happen. Our programs, including our research and service, help us and them to be able to be the best we can be in making a better world,” he added.

Founder and Board Chair of Ensign Global University, Dr. Lynette Gay expressed her satisfaction with the impact of the University since its establishment a decade ago. She emphasized, “Health begins in the home, with effective protection and preparation to keep families as healthy as possible. We train our students at the highest level of professionalism, ensuring they enter the workforce well-prepared.”
