About

I have done a lot of work in entomology and parasitology at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. But I have keen Vector Control. I have also done research into diabetes, HIV and Urinalysis.I have lectured in many Undergraduate programmes as shown below and also 4th year Clinical students at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital over the years in various aspects of Public Health and even some Veterinary Problems that relate to the role of Arthropods in human and animal health that can be collectively referred to as Medical Entomology. At the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital I also lecture and demonstrate to Medical Laboratory students in the 3rd and 4th year in the Parasitology laboratory.As a member of the Organization for Women in Science for Developing World Ghna Chapter, I am passionate about encouraging girls in science.
