The College of Health Sciences (CoHS) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has honored Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, for his exceptional contribution to education and health development in Ghana.
The event, held at the Great Hall of KNUST on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, formed part of the College’s 3rd Excellence Awards, instituted to celebrate outstanding staff, students, and individuals who have made remarkable contributions to the growth and visibility of the College.
Dr. Agyemang received the Exceptional Individual Support and Contribution Award in recognition of his unwavering commitment to academic excellence, mentorship, and philanthropy within the health sciences field.
Over the years, Dr. Agyemang has supported several educational and health-related initiatives, notably through his voluntary lectureship under the Department of Public Health at KNUST, where he continues to mentor and inspire future public health professionals.
Earlier this year, he provided financial assistance to four postgraduate students of the School of Public Health who were facing challenges paying their fees.
The beneficiaries — David Mensah, Abigail Boadi, Maame Ama Poku, and Abigail A. Yankyerah — are pursuing postgraduate programmes in Health Services Planning and Management, and Health Systems Research and Management. The gesture, widely commended by the students and the Dean of the School of Public Health, was described as a testament to Dr. Agyemang’s deep belief in empowering young people through education.
The Dean of the School of Public Health lauded Dr. Agyemang for his unwavering dedication to education, noting that his generosity and mentorship continue to inspire both students and faculty members.
His actions, the Dean said, reflect a strong sense of social responsibility aligned with KNUST’s vision of producing globally competitive graduates with a heart for service.
The Abuakwa South MP, who lectures pro bono at KNUST, expressed gratitude to the College of Health Sciences upon receiving the award and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the academic community. “This recognition inspires me to continue investing in people. When we support one student, we contribute to shaping the future of our nation,” he stated.
The 3rd Excellence Awards ceremony brought together senior members of the University, deans, faculty, students, and invited guests to celebrate excellence, service, and innovation within the College.
