H.E. Huseyin Gungor made this known when a delegation from Bono Region led by the Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa paid a courtesy call on him at his residence in Accra on Monday, 10^th December 2025 to discuss bilateral cooperation and investment opportunities in Bono Region.

Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa, the Bono Regional Minister, who requested the support, thanked the Ambassador and indicated that the Medical School was dear to him and the people of Bono Region to support quality healthcare delivery.

The University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) is establishing a medical school, linked with the elevated Sunyani Regional Hospital, becoming a Teaching Hospital, with plans set for first student admissions in January 2026.

The Medical School, which is set to provide research and academic excellence, aims to boost healthcare in the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo Regions. The initiative, spurred by government support and Parliamentary interest, also seeks to address the region's healthcare needs by training more doctors locally. It is also part of the government policy to train more healthcare professionals and reduce reliance on foreign medical schools.
