TraPCAf team visit Ghana

TraPCAf colleagues Dr Tash Fothergill-Misbah and Dr Matthew Breckons recently spent some time in Ghana visiting medical sites in Accra and Sogakope.

On Monday, Tash visited Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to meet Prof Albert Akpalu and his excellent team. Tash got the chance to see the clinic in action with a patient going through the research proforma, as well as visiting the lab to have a sneak peek at the TraPCAf specimens and the TraPCAf research office. 

On Tuesday, Tash and Matt visited the rural Sogakope site at Richard Novati Catholic Hospital, led by Dr Momodou Cham. They met the entire team and discussed their progress on the prevalence study, the Mucuna trial and their wonderful community engagement activities. 

Six people with PD were present during the visit. They benefited from discussions about PD with the TraPCAf team.
