Mr. Prince Kyere Dwaah | Public Health | Best Epidemiological Research Award

Assistant Veterinary Technologist | Akenten Appiah Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development | Ghana

Mr. Prince Kyere Dwaah is an emerging public health researcher and MPhil student at the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Ghana. With a background bridging public, animal, and community health, his work demonstrates a strong commitment to advancing zoonotic disease control and health education in underserved populations. His research contributions span clinical case documentation, community-based intervention studies, and immunological insights into host-pathogen interactions. Notably, his case report on a Suspected Outbreak of Sheep Pox in Techiman, Ghana underscores his engagement in veterinary epidemiology and rapid field response, while his study on The Role of Community-based Rabies Education in Promoting Preventive Health Behaviors highlights his focus on integrating health literacy into public health strategy. Through such works, Dwaah has fostered interdisciplinary collaborations across veterinary and public health sectors, contributing to the understanding of disease prevention and behavioral change communication. His interest in parasitic immunology, as reflected in his work on host defense mechanisms against worm infections, reveals his scientific curiosity and broader concern for global infectious disease challenges. With a growing body of publications in peer-reviewed journals and citations reflecting his emerging influence, he aspires to strengthen disease surveillance systems, improve health awareness, and promote sustainable health practices in sub-Saharan Africa. His scholarly endeavors embody the intersection of research, education, and community engagement, aligning with global goals for equitable and preventive healthcare.
