Sixty tutors from seventy-seven KNUST-affiliated Nursing and Midwifery Health Institutions are receiving training in health entrepreneurship by the Africa Higher Education Health Collaborative, KNUST in partnership with Mastercard Foundation.
The participants who have been drawn from Ashanti, Eastern and Central regions are part of the second cohort receiving Train-the-trainer training in health entrepreneurship.
The 10-day event spearheaded by the Health Entrepreneurship pillar of the Collaborative seeks to empower tutors of Nursing and Midwifery Institutions to nurture potential entrepreneurs to build resilient health ventures in Ghana.
“All that we’re trying to do here is to equip you with the skill to transform the health sector. We want to get a mindset change for you to see health as a business and try to set businesses in the health space so that we can provide the needed care for our members,” said pillar lead, Prof. Wilberforce Owusu-Ansah.
The participants are expected to acquire essential entrepreneurial knowledge to pass onto their students.
The primary objective of the Higher education collaborative in Health is to build and strengthen the capacity of Health care students and professionals to meet growing demand for Primary Health Care in Ghana.
Under the Health Entrepreneurship pillar, 355 Train-the-Trainers at 77 KNUST-affiliated Health Training institutions as well 560 public-private PHC workers will be trained with the potential to reach over 24,000 young people during the first phase.
