The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, has received the Chief Executive Officer of the Health Community of West Africa (HCOWA), Anna Jiang, at his office.

During the meeting, Prof. Boampong welcomed Anna Jiang, wishing her good health and a successful visit to the University of Cape Coast, in particular, and Ghana at large.

Speaking through an interpreter, the CEO of HCOWA said her association had set “ambitious long-term goals” to bring together hospitals, medical professors from China and manufacturers of medical equipment to harness their respective expertise.

That, she said, would help to promote health care, foster academic and research collaboration and build advocacy for effective policy implementation, as well as bridge the gaps in medical equipment and resources.

She said she visited the Confucius Institute in Ghana and seized the chance to visit the Vice-Chancellor while exploring opportunities for strategic partnership between HCOWA and UCC across various fields.
