The Ghana Medical Journal (GMJ), a product of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), was first
published in September 1962. The first edition contained a message from Osagyefo Dr Kwame
Nkrumah, President of Ghana and GMA patron, in which he expressed the hope that the “GMJ will
afford the means of disseminating medical knowledge among yourselves and your colleagues
throughout Africa and beyond”, and “May the pages of the Journal demonstrate the tireless efforts of
medical men all over the world in the crusade against disease and ill health.”
