Joseph Appiah Boateng practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Joseph Appiah Boateng as Ghanaian nurse and politician.
Joseph Appiah Boateng was born in 1975. His recorded nationality is Ghana. He trained at Australian College of Nursing.

That the work was done from Ghana matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Joseph Appiah Boateng is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
