Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher's work focuses on the comprehensive study of parasitic diseases, particularly Onchocerciasis, with a strong emphasis on Wolbachia endobacteria treatment and antibiotic efficacy in reducing its burden. Their research extends to bone fracture management and rehabilitation, exploring factors influencing quality of life and economic impact. A notable case study involves the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures in Ghana. Additionally, their interests include understanding congenital limb and hand anomalies, such as rare cleft hands/feet and bilateral radial club hands at a teaching hospital in Kumasi.
