Description
After university, I started a pharmacy and co-owned the business. Later, I was hired to set up another pharmacy in Slough for an American company entering the UK online healthcare market. Over the years of running our business and establishing pharmacies and a real estate company in Ghana, I developed a passion for sharing the skills I acquired. On this show, I'll bring you insights from entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and specialists in their fields. I hope you enjoy the best podcast in Ghana!
