I am a Ghanaian-trained and registered Pharmacist (Doctor of Pharmacy) with a PhD (Pharmacy Practice) from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, which focused on oncology pharmacy. I further received training and certification as a Qualified Personnel for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV) by the Food and Drugs Authority (Ghana) and the African Collaborating Centre for Pharmacovigilance and Surveillance (Ghana).
