About my site

To contribute to quality healthcare and universal health coverage through education, health promotion, leadership and empowerment, Ghana Accra Meet Health Needs (MeHeNeeds) Consortium collaborates with eDGH to bring these online short courses to professionals in all parts of Ghana. Sampson has coordinated this Site for over three years now. Since 2021, his Site has hosted all courses offered by eDGH in a year and has never defaulted in moving on participants following site registration. The motivation, respect and the guidance he offers to participants in his site, alongside the local experts he brings onboard, are beyond compare. His site meets 4 to 6 times virtually throughout a course. Once you are in Ghana, he is ready to host you. Do not hesitate to reach out to him via email/WhatsApp.
