NLA Donation

THE National Lottery Authority (NLA) has presented a cheque for GH¢10,000 to support the College of Health Sciences Endowment Fund at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
This brings to GH¢20,000 the amount spent by the NLA in support of the fund, which was set up nine years ago by the college to support postgraduate training.
Presenting the cheque, Mr David Lamptey, the Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager of N LA, expressed optimism that the cheque would help to put the college in a better position to train more students.
He said the authority was committed to providing financial support for students of the college to pursue professional training.
Mr Lamptey said the NLA had invested GH¢20,000 within two years to help health professionals to pursue higher studies in their chosen fields to better their lots.
For his part, the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, Prof. Aaron Lante Lawson, said the college had the mandate to train health professionals in the country.
“The college has been in partnership with corporate entities to achieve this objective,” Prof. Lawson noted.
The Deputy Provost, Prof. Andrew Anthony Adjei, said the college had MPhil and PhD students who were doing well through scholarships to go through their studies.
He expressed his profound gratitude to the authority for helping medical students in the country.
The Registrar of the college, Mr Frank K. Yeboah, said the college had set up the endowment fund for future health students.
He, therefore, appealed to other individuals and organisations to support the college.
