I am a medical doctor and Consultant Public Health Physician with the Disease Surveillance Department of the Ghana Health Service (GHS). As Deputy Director, Public Health, with responsibility for surveillance, I provide technical leadership for the implementation of Ghana’s Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) Strategy. The department’s work centres on priority epidemic-prone diseases, including cholera, measles, polio and yellow fever. I lead outbreak investigations and have done so across all 16 administrative regions of Ghana. I have also supported outbreak response vaccination campaigns for mpox, cholera and yellow fever. I serve on several national technical committees on vaccine-preventable diseases, notably polio, measles and yellow fever. As Chair of the National Yellow Fever Classification Committee, I provide leadership in the classification of all suspected yellow fever cases in Ghana. Alongside my service role, I hold academic appointments. At the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, I coordinate the Advanced Epidemiology and Disease Control specialty within the Faculty of Public Health. At the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives, I lead the Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response module. I have served as a reviewer on several peer reviewed journals
