The Arrangement of our Emblem

As a nation, Ghana was very wealthy from the vast resources of the valuable Gold that was found within its borders. It was this background that gave rise to the colonial name Gold Coast and later changed to Ghana when the country became independent. Within the Sceptre is KQMUC acronym which Means Kings and Queens Medical University College. There is a Wreath of Greens Leaves and Motto: “Deo Medice” which Literally means “ God the Healer”
