Entrance University of Health Sciences (EUHS) has been named Best Private University 2025 in Ghana.
The award was presented at the 15th edition of the West Africa International Magazine’s Heroes of Distinction Conference and Awards held at Accra City Hotel on Tuesday.
The citation described EUHS as a leading private institution focused on training future healthcare professionals through innovation, excellence, and integrity.
EUHS was established in 2018 as Entrance University College of Health Sciences, under the Tobinco Group of Companies. In 2024, it gained full university status after receiving a Presidential Charter from former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, allowing it to operate independently.
The university started with the School of Pharmacy and became the first private university in West Africa to offer the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) programme. Students receive practical training at the Entrance Pharmaceutical and Research Centre and take part in clinical rotations.
The school recently recorded a 97 percent pass rate in the Pharmacy Council Licensure Examination by its first Pharm.D class.
To expand its programmes, EUHS established a School of Nursing in 2024 after receiving accreditation from the Nursing and Midwifery Council. It also gained approval from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission and the Medical and Dental Council to run Medicine (MB ChB) and Dentistry (BDS) programmes.
The university is the first private institution in Ghana to introduce both Medicine and Dentistry programmes at the same time. It has also set up a University Dental Hospital to provide practical training for students while offering dental services to the public.
Officials say the award reflects the hard work of management, staff, and students, and shows the university’s growing impact in health education.
The ceremony was attended by the President of EUHS, Prof. Aaron Lante Lawson, Registrar Mr. Samuel Apeawin, and other senior officials.
