In this powerful episode, I sit with Dr. Christian Owoo, Ghana’s lead ICU expert during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Owoo shares what really happened behind the scenes — when ventilators were few, time was scarce, and lives were hanging in the balance.

For me, this isn’t just another conversation. As a COVID-19 survivor who faced isolation, fear, and uncertainty, this episode is deeply personal. Together, we reflect on the lessons we must carry forward, the warning signs we can’t ignore, and the systems that need strengthening.

🎧 This episode will leave you thinking, questioning, and hopefully, preparing.

This June — Men’s Health Month — we dive deep into a topic that too often goes undiscussed: men’s mental health.

In this thought-provoking episode of Diagnostics and Beyond, I sit down with Dr. Edwin Boachie-Yiadom, one of Ghana’s leading clinical psychologists, to explore the emotional weight men carry, the trauma we suppress, and the silent battles we fight every day.

From the pressure to perform, to the fear of being vulnerable, to how culture and identity shape emotional wellbeing; this conversation is raw, insightful, and overdue.

🎧 Whether you’re a man, woman, student, or professional — you’ll find pieces of yourself in this conversation. Because mental health isn’t a gendered issue. It’s a human one.

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Share.

In this special street edition of Diagnostics and Beyond, we take our mics beyond the clinic and into the hearts of everyday people. We asked one simple but powerful question:

Would you want to run a diagnostics test?

The answers? Honest. Raw. Sometimes surprising.

From fear of bad news to deep trust (or mistrust) in the system, this episode sheds light on the real perceptions around diagnostics — and how far we still have to go in building a health-conscious culture.

Whether you’re a health worker, patient, or just curious — this one’s for you.

After nearly two decades of working at the heart of diagnostics in Ghana and beyond, I am pulling back the curtain on the truths, lessons, and sometimes painful realities I’ve learned along the way.

This isn’t just another health talk. It’s a roadmap to owning your health, making informed decisions, and protecting yourself and your family from costly mistakes.

What should you double-check in a lab result?

Can your gut instinct be more accurate than a test?

Why does the equipment in a lab matter more than you think?

Listen as I share hard-earned wisdom with honesty and urgency — so you don’t have to spend 18 years learning what I now know.

What does “health” actually mean beyond diagnostics?

In this debut episode of Diagnostics and Beyond, I open up about why I started this podcast — and why talking about health should feel a little more human.

I'm joined by two dynamic guests:

• Dr. Benjamin Smith-Koufie, a Senior Surgical Resident and Senior Superintendent of Police, shares the story behind his calling into medicine, the misconceptions we hold about healthcare, and what keeps him going.
  
  
• Bernard Ayitey-Adjin, a Program Lead at the Mastercard Foundation, brings a powerful economic lens to the conversation.

Together, we explore the links between health and the systems we live in, from the hospital to the hustle.

No medical jargon, just real stories, bold ideas, and necessary conversations.
