The Colleges of Health Teachers' Association of Ghana (COHTAG) has officially been incorporated as a legal professional body in the Republic of Ghana. The association is now registered as COLLEGES OF HEALTH TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION OF GHANA LBG, under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) as a Company Limited by Guarantee by the Office of the Registrar of Companies.
This milestone represents an important step toward strengthening the collective voice of tutors in Health Training Institutions across the country. Health educators play a vital role in preparing the next generation of health professionals who form the backbone of our national health system. Establishing a formal professional association provides a structured platform to promote academic excellence, professional networking, research development, and policy engagement within the health training sector.
The association will work collaboratively with key stakeholders including the Ministry of Health, health training institutions, regulatory bodies, and development partners to advance the quality of health education and contribute to the development of a competent health workforce for Ghana.
The formal incorporation of COHTAG also creates new opportunities for professional development, capacity building, research collaboration, and advocacy for the welfare and recognition of health tutors nationwide.
We extend our profound appreciation to all founding members, colleagues, and stakeholders whose dedication and commitment made this historic achievement possible.
As we embark on this new chapter, we remain committed to building a strong, credible, and impactful professional association that will contribute meaningfully to health systems strengthening and the advancement of health education in Ghana.
