Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The University for Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) has conferred an Honorary Doctorate Degree on Professor Margaret Gyapong, Director of its Institute of Health Research.<\/p>\n

The Degree was conferred on her by Chairman of Council Justice Jones V. M. Dotse, also a Supreme Court Judge at the second session of the sixth congregation of the University.<\/p>\n

The Professor who has become the face of the University has a background in Medical Anthropology and Epidemiology, and ranks among top female scientists. She has risen to secure international credentials in research in the areas of malaria and neglected tropical diseases.<\/p>\n

The citation celebrated her several initiatives, interventions and achievements that had benefited the University, listing millions of dollars in research grants and the attraction of research collaborations with major bodies including the World Health Organisation (WHO).<\/p>\n

It read \u201cAs a medical anthropologist, you have passionately distinguished yourself in implementation research, maternal and child health and neglected tropical diseases, working tirelessly to intersect health research and practice by building research capacity, leading the authorship of various toolkits and manuals, and facilitating knowledge sharing.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Chief Executive Officer of the Jospong Group of Companies who was the Guest Speaker at the graduation, announced a USD 100,000 support for the UHAS Needy Female Students\u2019 Support Fund towards research.<\/p>\n
