 In 1973 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the construction of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, the Ghanaian government honoured Guggisberg with the erection of a large statue, a rare tribute paid by a post-colonial government to one of its colonial governors.There are male dormitories named after Guggisberg at the Eastern compound of Achimota School in Accra Ghana, Bagabaga College of Education in Tamale Ghana and Prempeh College in Kumasi Ghana.Despite of the occasional rumours about Guggisberg's background and religious faith being Jewish, it has been thoroughly documented that he was not.
