A great pleasure to join Prof. Eva Bezak, President @IOMP_Official, to present the plaque to DG Grossi (@rafaelmgrossi) @iaeaorg and discuss IAEA-IOMP collaboration in medical physics and cancer care globally. @IOMP_Official @FAMPO_Africa @GSMP_Ghana @GAECGH
Good to meet @IOMP_Official President Eva Bezak at #IAEAGC and build on our longstanding cooperation in dosimetry, radiation protection and patient safety.
Medical physics is central to safe, effective cancer diagnosis and treatment, & our ongoing collaboration helps strengthen quality care for patients worldwide.

Ghana is making steady progress towards nuclear power, with both large reactors and SMRs under consideration, with @IAEAorg support.
At #IAEAGC with Minister for Environment, Science and Technology @zanetorofficial, we also exchanged on how nuclear science is supporting 🇬🇭’s priorities, from cancer care through #RaysOfHope to climate-resilient agriculture with #Atoms4Food.
On 19 February, I joined colleagues, @JerryKponyo and @DanielNanaAdjei, on panel discussion of the @AI4SD Mini Conference at @KNUSTGH; 17 - 19 Feb 2026. The panel discussed achievements, challenges, and way forward for the @AI4SD project, sponsored by the @frenchembassyGHA
Deeply grateful for the support, mentorship, and collaborations that have shaped my journey to Full Professorship. A milestone that renews my commitment to advancing education, research, and clinical impact in my beloved Medical Physics profession.
