Abstract:
Ghana Medical Association (GMA), was first released
in September 1962. The Patron of the GMA at the
time, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the first President
of the Republic of Ghana in congratulating the
GMA wrote, “ The Ghana Medical Journal will afford
the means of disseminating medical knowledge among
yourselves and your colleagues throughout Africa and
beyond. Your observations, analysis, management and
discoveries in the problems of Health in Africa, and in
Ghana in particular, will be making important contributions
to man’s quest for good health. I am sure your
journal will reflect the path Ghana has trodden in its
vigorous attempt to ensure positive health for her people.”.
