Veterinary
medicine in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology began in the
year 2008 by the Dean of the Department, Dr. R. D. Folitse. Due to lack of
facilities, international lecturers from the United States of America were
brought to the university precisely to the Veterinary Medicine department to
teach for free of charge. During their stay, items were donated to the
department and they were stethoscopes, computer machines and projectors.
In
the development of veterinary medicine according to the Founder of Tema Animal
Hospital, Dr. Quarcopoome, there has been an immense changes with regards to
animal medicine. Ghanaian attitude towards animal medicine is not encouraging,
which has led to people looking down on the field.
Dr.
Quarcopoome and Pro Vice chancellor, Prof. S.N. Okai encourage the fourth years
veterinary medical students to work very hard in their field of study.
Donations
were made to the Veterinary Medical students and items donated were
stethoscopes and envelopes containing other items.
