Ensign Global University Welcomes New Master of Public Health Cohort and Unveils Local Scholarships

Ensign Global University (EGU) has officially matriculated its final cohort of the year into its Master of Public Health (MPH) programme during a ceremony held at its Kpong campus. The event marked a significant milestone for the institution as it continues its mission to develop skilled public health professionals capable of addressing complex health challenges in Ghana and across the globe. Guided by the University Registrar, Mr. Patrick Kuma, the new students took a formal oath and signed the matricula, pledging to uphold the university’s core principles of leadership, professionalism, and academic integrity.

During the ceremony, the President of Ensign Global University, Professor Stephen Alder, urged the matriculants to fully embrace the academic rigors of the MPH programme. He characterized the upcoming challenges not as obstacles, but as essential opportunities for personal and professional transformation, encouraging students to foster a growth mindset. This sentiment was echoed by student representatives Ms. Lawrencia Amoah and Mr. Matthew Imbeah, who expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to study at EGU. They highlighted the importance of collaboration, noting that teamwork would be fundamental to their success in tackling the multifaceted public health issues facing the nation today.

Beyond the academic induction, the university used the occasion to announce new scholarship initiatives specifically designed for members of the local community within the Manya Krobo Traditional Area. These initiatives are part of EGU’s broader strategy to enhance access to public health education and strengthen its relationship with local residents and national health organizations. By fostering these ties and lowering financial barriers, the university aims to ensure that its graduates are not only academically proficient but also deeply rooted in the communities they are trained to serve, ultimately strengthening Ghana's public health infrastructure.
