STARTING STORY

STARTING GIZ: by Henry Koning Acheampong– Technical Advisor

Joining GIZ from the pharmaceutical industry has been a paradigm shift for me as it is my first foray into developmental work. Fortunately for me, I have joined an amazing team at Ghana Heart Initiative (GHI), and the opportunity to participate in Capacity Works training where I acquainted with colleagues from other projects, have helped me to settle in very well.

I am a pharmacist by profession, and I have been working in the Ghanaian health sector since 2015 to bring health solutions to patients at all levels of care. I have previously occupied diverse roles at multinational pharmaceutical companies in areas of sales, marketing, stakeholder management, brand and product management, and ethics and compliance.

With GHI, I look forward to expanding interventions to the whole of Ghana in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular diseases. I believe that I am in the right environment to develop and grow competencies in developmental works. I am anticipative of the experience!
