The College of Health and Well-Being, Kintampo has received an unprecedented number of applications for admission to the 2013/2014 academic year, Dr Emmanuel Teye Adjase, Director of the College said at the weekend.

Dr Adjase urged the final year students to accept postings to their localities, especially the deprived and under-served communities in the country for the benefit of the people.
Mr Philibert Kankye, Deputy Director of Administration, said the award was won through hard work, determination and the perseverance of the dedicated Management and Staff of the College.

Certificates of recognition jointly signed by Dr Adjase and Pemampem Kagbrese were presented to some personalities and individuals who have contributed in diverse ways to bring the institution to its present level.
The recipients included eight journalists working with the Ghana News Agency, Daily Graphic, Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, Daily Guide TV3, Ghanaian Times and TV Africa in the Region.
The College now has about 2,000 students.
