“Currently, I am considering internal medicine and a subspecialty in cardiology. But hopefully, after the housemanship, it will be clear enough for me to know exactly which path to take,” he said.
He expressed gratitude to the Asantehene, Otunfuo Osei-Tutu II, for sponsoring his education, describing the support as instrumental to his success throughout medical school.
Dr Gyamfi completed T I Ahmadiyya Senior High School, popularly known as Real Amass, in Kumasi.
