Ms. Hanna Twumwaa Gyasi is Africa Higher Education Health Collaborative in partnership with Mastercard Foundation scholar reading MPhil Health Systems Research and Management at the School of Public Health, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
She wants to be a global health leader.
Ms. Hanna Twumwaa Gyasi wanted to be a pilot-That should tell you her craving to lead. Her immediate course choice at Toase Senior High School was therefore general arts.
“Growing up, I dreamt of being a pilot. At Toase, my subject combination was geography, economics, elective mathematics and government,” she recalled.
Hanna found out after school, her “Mr. Right” wasn’t, after all, for her. With nursing in vogue, she rode along.
“I had to divert to health sector, precisely nursing, because entering into the nursing was common,” she said.
Hanna spent a decade practicing nursing but soon realized she needed another level of experience and therefore pursued physician Assistantship.
Hanna is now a Physician Assistant at Nobewam SDA Hospital.
She didn’t want to end there, so she applied for the Africa Higher Education Health Collaborative scholarship to realize her dream.
“My dream is to become one of the female leaders in the world,” she said.
As the world celebrates women, Hanna believes inspiring inclusion also means women steering affairs in the health sector.
