The College of Health Sciences (CHS) participated actively in a three-day Management Retreat organized by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana for Senior Management members of the University. The retreat was held from Tuesday, 14th to Thursday, 16th January, 2026, at the Senchi Resort and Hotel, Eastern Region.
The high-level retreat brought together Senior Management, Provosts, Deans, Directors, and College Registrars from across the University to reflect on institutional progress and chart the way forward in alignment with the University’s strategic direction.

The primary objective of the retreat was to demonstrate its commitment to the University’s strategic goals; share best practices and institutional successes; gain clarity on expectations for decentralised implementation of the Strategic Plan; engage with University leadership on future priorities and implementation actions for 2026; assess progress made so far, and outline next steps for effective implementation, with clear actions and expectations for the year under review. The retreat also served as a platform for strategic engagement, peer learning, and alignment of College-level initiatives with the broader University vision.

The College of Health Sciences recorded a strong and impactful participation throughout the retreat. Prof. Alfred Edwin Yawson, Provost of the College of Health Sciences, Mr. Worlanyo Torvinyo, College Registrar and all Deans and Directors of constituent Schools/Institute/Centre participated in the retreat. As part of the programme, the College delivered a comprehensive presentation highlighting its strategic achievements, innovations, and progress in implementing key components of the 2024–2029 Strategic Plan. Within a concise ten-minute presentation, the College showcased its notable successes, strategic initiatives, and contributions to the University’s mandate in teaching, research, health service delivery, and community engagement. The presentation was well received and attracted massive applause from participants, underscoring the College’s exemplary performance and leadership within the University system.

The insights gained from the retreat will guide the College’s planning, implementation actions, and performance monitoring as it continues to contribute meaningfully to the University’s vision of excellence in higher education and national development.
