I registered as a pharmacist in December 1999 and formally joined the Pharmacy Council (PC) in February, 2000. As the president of the Ghana Pharmaceutical Students Association, I was very instrumental in the facilitation of the PC decentralisation effort at the time. As faith will have it, I was posted to the first decentralized zonal office that was responsible for the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions. I worked closely under the then Zonal Manager playing several roles key among which was the training of service providers. I assisted the team then to write a handbook for Over The Counter Medicine Sellers (OTCMS).
In 201 I was transferred to the Head office where I served as the schedule officer for Premises Licensing and Enforcement Unit and then as Regional Manager for the Greater Accra region till 2005 when I was reassigned to the Education and Training Department (ETD). I’m passionate about extending the frontiers of professionalism and adherence to practice standards at all times. Whilst serving at the ETD, I facilitated the development and implementation of key policies and projects namely;

As part of these activities, I represented Ghana at WHO Technical Briefing Sessions in Abuja and Geneva in 2009.
