Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, has commissioned a state-of-the-art 3D high-definition anatomy table at its School of Nursing and Midwifery—one of the first of its kind in the West African subregion. This ground-breaking innovation will significantly enhance teaching and learning for both students and lecturers.
The special guest of honor at the launch was the Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, Minister of Health. In his keynote address, he emphasized the importance of technological advancement in the evolution of education. He commended Dr. Paul Kofi Fynn, Chancellor of Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, and the entire team for their commitment to innovation and excellence in health education.
Hon. Akandoh described the 3D anatomy table as “a bold step into the future of health education,” noting that it uses real human body reconstructions to simulate actual anatomical dissections through fully interactive 3D visualizations. “This technology does more than just teach anatomy—it brings it to life. It enhances understanding, improves retention, and provides an unparalleled practical learning experience for Nursing and Midwifery students,” he stated. He further stressed the importance of health training institutions staying abreast of advanced learning technologies.
The Minister also expressed his admiration for other cutting-edge facilities at the university, including the renowned Nursing Skills Laboratories, the Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics Labs, the Moot Court of the School of Law, and the School of Communication Broadcasting Studio. “These are not just impressive—they are transformative,” he remarked. “As Minister for Health, we are deeply encouraged by institutions like Wisconsin in our quest to strengthen health education and delivery. The Ministry of Health remains fully committed to supporting innovations that align with our national goals and universal health coverage.”
Professor Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, one of Wisconsin’s affiliate institutions, also addressed the gathering. She lauded the university’s efforts to integrate technology into teaching and learning, describing the progress at Wisconsin as commendable. “The university is training high-calibre, skilful professionals not just for the health sector, but for all sectors of the Ghanaian economy,” she stated. Professor Dickson reaffirmed her continued support as an affiliate partner.
The launch was graced by several dignitaries, including the Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary Education, the Chairman of the University Board, a former editor of the Graphic Communications Group, representatives from Regent University, the Acting Vice President of Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, members of faculty, students, and the general public.
