About the Department

Biomedical Engineering is a diverse field that involves the application of scientific and engineering principles to health-related problems that require the involvement of technological approaches. This field of engineering has helped to transform medical care and biomedical research to great heights in the more developed countries, and the world around them. Thus, the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Ghana was established in the 2002/2003 academic year to train undergraduate students to become Biomedical Engineers to help solve the health needs of the people of Ghana and other parts of the world.
