China pledged to support Ghana's expansion of the University of Health and Allied Sciences which is located at 180 kilometers northeast of the capital, Accra.
At a brief ceremony, Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Wang Shiting and Ghana's Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta signed a formal note on behalf of their respective country for the grant support.
Wang said the signing of the document was an indication that "the Chinese government will support the construction of the second phase of the project for the University of Health and Allied Sciences."
"This is a gift from the Chinese government and its people to the Ghanaian government and its people. It is also a milestone in the friendship between our two countries," he said.
The first phase of the project covering a land area of 10,386 square meters was also funded by the Chinese government. The project which was handed over to the government of Ghana in September 2015 consisted of equipment for the school of basic and biomedical science, lecture halls, libraries, student housing facilities and senior staff residential area.
The second phase, to be situated on a land area of 29,200 square meters, will include a new administration building, College of Nursing and Midwifery, duty and equipment room, and other supporting facilities.
