The Auditorium on the Trafalgar Campus has been renamed “Professor Kofi Anyidoho Auditorium” in recognition of his leadership in helping the Governing Council establish the University.
The Cedi Auditorium
The University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho has received a donation from Bank of Ghana for an ultramodern multipurpose auditorium. (UHAS).

Two lecture rooms with a capacity for fifty people each, two offices, and a potential banking hall make up the 1,200-seat auditorium.
The Professor Fred Newton Binka School of Public Health
The University’s founding Vice Chancellor was Professor Fred Newton Binka. During the University’s most challenging period, he carried out his duties as CEO. He carefully collaborated with the Governing Council to put the Main Campus at Sokode, Hohoe, and Trafalgar’s incubator facilities into operation.
During his leadership, five schools were established: the schools of Allied Health Sciences, Basic and Biomedical Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery, Medicine, and Public Health.
