Ms. Margaret Gyapong

Professor Gyapong is a medical anthropologist at the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana. Until March 2017, she was Deputy Director for R&D in the Ghana Health Service.

When Professor Gyapong was appointed Director of Dodowa Health Research, there was no research center and she wanted to prove that a female non-medic in the Ministry of Health could turn a small research office into an institution of international repute.
