Ensign Global University launched its 10th anniversary by unveiling innovative academic programmes aimed at addressing the country's rapidly evolving public health challenges. Held under the theme, “Celebrating a Decade of Educating Professional and Entrepreneurial Leaders for Prosperity,” the anniversary launch coincided with the matriculation of 25 new Master of Public Health students.

The event featured a documentary screening that highlighted the university’s 10-year journey, captivating students, faculty, and distinguished guests. Co-chairman of the anniversary planning committee, Dr. Stephen Manortey, underscored the significance of the milestone in his welcome address. He emphasized Ensign Global University’s lasting impact on public health education in Ghana.

“We are using this celebration to tell the whole world that the institution has come to stay,” he declared. He further praised the dedication of the university’s staff, noting, “It gives us the opportunity to recognize the hardworking hands of the institution who have contributed to making Ensign Global what it is.”

In his keynote address, the President of Ensign Global University, Professor Stephen C. Alder, expressed gratitude to partner institutions, including the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, for their pivotal role in the college's development over the past decade. He proudly noted that Ensign Global has produced alumni who now hold influential positions in globally recognized public health institutions.

“We have alumni working in public health agencies, the Ghana Health Service, and various health and clinical facilities, fulfilling frontline duties here in Ghana. Others have pursued doctoral programmes both locally and internationally,” he highlighted. “Among the new initiatives, the college will launch health and safety programmes to address emerging threats, particularly those caused by environmental degradation. We are launching programmes in health and safety,” Professor Alder announced.

Additionally, he emphasized the university’s commitment to tackling human trafficking as a public health issue rather than just a law enforcement concern. “We are working on responding to the challenges of human trafficking, considering it as not just a law enforcement or criminal justice issue but as a public health issue.”

As part of the ceremony, Mrs. Irina Ofei, the Yilo Krobo Municipal Health Director, commended Ensign Global University for its significant and impactful community engagement activities in Kroboland, Ghana, and beyond.
