Message from the President
We celebrate our past and embrace our future.
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the official website of the University of Ghana Dental School Alumni Association. Now praise we great and famous men, the fathers named in story.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate the remarkable deeds of the great and famous men and women who have made history. Their names have been etched in the annals of time, inspiring us with their incredible stories. Now, we celebrate the achievements of our foundation staff, who have worked tirelessly since the inception of local training of dentists in 1993 to train top-notch dentists, with the first class graduating in 1997.
Their efforts have resulted in over 400 alumni making remarkable impacts worldwide. We recognise and honour their sacrifices and hard work. Dr Charles Asare, Dr Felix Govina, Dr Kweku Tagboto, Dr Maxwell Addo, Dr Gerald Awadzi, the pioneer class, we salute you. Without your tenacity, we wouldn’t be here as part of history. You deserve our applause.
Investing in the future of the University of Ghana Dental School is essential to maintain our reputation for excellence. With the inception of the University of Ghana Dental School Alumni Association, we are thrilled about the opportunities it presents to strengthen our bond as alumni, promote professional development and networking, and contribute towards the growth and development of our institution.

Long live the University of Ghana Dental School and the University of Ghana, and God bless our homeland, Ghana.
Warm regards,
Dr. Richardar N. A. Taylor Dawson
