Generally in Ghana, when one finds a man heading an academic institution or a professional organization, such as a medical
body, it is always fair to assume that such a person is a product of Prempeh College. The
Ghana Health Service, the Ghana Medical Association, the Ghana Academy
of Arts & Sciences, the World Health Organization and all the nation's medical schools are headed by Amanfoo.
In addition, all the universities have had a Prempeh graduate as a don.
Professor Edward Donkor Yeboah, a Cambridge-trained surgeon, who survived an almost fatal accident several
years ago, is the 23rd president of the West African College of Surgeons.
He was made a fellow of the College in 1973 and progressed to be an Examiner, Council member and Faculty
Board Secretary and Faculty Board Chairman and the first Vice President. Thus, it took him 32 years to become President
when he assumed the mantle of leadership of that august body last year at the 45th Annual Conference of the West
African College of Surgeons, in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
He is the second Cambridge student to hold that position. He is a urologist affiliated with the
University of Ghana Medical School at Korlebu.
