@ Dr Allen Smith Jackson, Say it again, when we read such achievements by Ghanaians that gives me hope for those of us living in Ghana, we are a relatively small country population wise yet we punch way above our weight, unfortunately these are mainly Ghanaians residing outside the country whom grab the opportunities open to them. Dr Nancy you are a gifted person and congratulations on your major achievements till date, I am sure there more to come....Bless

I am sorry to burst everyone's bubble but she this can't be such a big deal.My aunt,Dr Isabella Simbaye graduated from the same John Hopkins way back with a Masters degree in Public health in 1987.No fanfare.No noise was made.Such a modest soul. She served most of her public life in rural Liberia and in mountainous Bhutan riding donkeys to work.She came home after her degree at midnight and early the next morning she reported for work.Some people are modest for real

What is the big deal about this? For somebody just attending a uni course. So we will have the first black to do nursing, to study pediatrics, etc? This is no achievement because many many blacks have become the first to graduate in prestigious universities all over the World. The achievements are ONLY DOING SOMETHING WITH THE EDUCATION. DUMB PEOPLE

Mind you education is not the only way to a successful life

Congratulations, but when you return home you have to sit our stupid local examination as well. Because Ghana doesn't recognize foreign medical degrees. Sad
