He further charged them not to rest after this but focus on exploring other sectors of Ghanaian society.

“I want to encourage you to be innovative with your content. Today you may be starting with COVID, but there are many other health-related subjects like the Monkey Pox, Marburg virus, and others that we will be looking forward to seeing you explore,” he noted.

He adds “One of the things we want to encourage as a country is entrepreneurship. So I want to encourage you not just to limit yourself to the creation of a platform on health-related education but to dream big and pay attention to entrepreneurship, particularly in the younger ones.”
