The Dean of the School of Allied Health Sciences of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Prof. Desmond Omane Acheampong, has revived calls for complete elimination of taxes on imported equipment and consumables for research in the country.
He argued that such a measure would encourage private industries to support academic institutions with high-powered equipment to drive the Ghanaian economy with technology, as well as the generation of research ideas by both academia and industry.
