What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful healthcare solutions.

I am a passionate medical doctor with a strong commitment to advancing mental health awareness and improving healthcare systems. My journey began at the University for Development Studies, where I earned my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, alongside a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. My professional experience spans various roles, including Medical Consultant, where I have contributed to developing health records systems and enhancing patient care through technology integration.

Currently, I serve as a Senior House Officer at Accra Psychiatry Hospital, where I lead initiatives in digital mental health research and coordinate community engagement programs. My dedication to mental health advocacy is further exemplified by founding the Mental Health Intervention and Education Services-Ghana (MINDS-Gh), which focuses on bridging the gap between patients and professionals. I have successfully organized campaigns and educational programs that have significantly impacted community awareness and support for mental health issues.
