Koforidua Technical University (KTU) has reaffirmed its commitment to producing competent and industry-ready healthcare professionals by organising an orientation programme for final-year students of the Faculty of Health and Allied Sciences ahead of their mandatory national service and internship.
The orientation, held on Tuesday, 21 July 2026, was organised in collaboration with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) to equip Level 400 students with the knowledge and practical guidance required for a smooth transition from academia to professional practice.
The programme brought together officials of the Allied Health Professions Council, faculty members, and graduating students to discuss the essential requirements for national service and internship. Participants received detailed information on professional registration, placement procedures, regulatory requirements, and the ethical and professional standards expected of allied health practitioners.
Speaking during the session, facilitators encouraged the students to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, accountability, and patient-centred care as they embark on the next phase of their careers. Students also had the opportunity to interact with the resource persons and seek clarification on issues relating to registration, deployment, and career development.
The Dean of the Faculty of Health and Allied Sciences commended the Allied Health Professions Council for its continued collaboration with the University in preparing students for professional practice. He noted that such engagements bridge the gap between academic training and the realities of the healthcare industry, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to serve with competence and confidence.
The orientation forms part of Koforidua Technical University’s broader commitment to delivering quality, competency-based education and producing graduates who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and ethical values needed to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s healthcare system and national development.
The event was covered live by KTU Radio 87.7 FM, enabling members of the University community and the general public to follow the proceedings.
