The National Union of Ghana Students’ (NUGS) has decried the seeming neglect of medical training institutions in the country.
It said since the health of every nation is its wealth it was necessary that medical training institutions in the country be well equipped to discharge the onerous task of properly training people to save lives.
The Union said the sorry state of the medical school of the University for Development Studies is particularly worrying.
These were contained in a statement signed by the NUGS President Mr. Kweku Tuoho Bombason and the Press and Information Secretary of the Union, Mr. Sebastian Damoah.
The statement was in issued connection with the National Students’ Day which falls on May 15 every.
According to the statement the UDS medical school was not accredited to enable it train the much medical staff such as doctors and nurses in the country.
“The medical schools of the university of Ghana, Legon and Kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology which used to continue the training of UDS students at some stage of their studies have all refused to accept them to continue their clinical training” the statement lamented.
NUGS recognize the challenges that students are faced with in the country, these includes; the ever increasing cost of education particularly tertiary education and the difficulty students go through in finding hostel accommodation on their campuses to settle for effective learning because of the lack of corresponding increase in students numbers with that of infrastructure on campus.
It said the situation was dire and need urgent government attention as well as the national accreditation board to solve the problem and spare medical students of the university the current ordeal and also to allow for more students to be admitted for the 2008/2009 academic year.
