Meet Kwaku Boakye Gyamfi, who just became one of the youngest medical doctor in Ghana at 22
Gyamfi graduated from the UCC School of Medical Sciences at the age of 22 after a six-year medical educational journey.
Kwaku Boakye Gyamfi has been honored for graduating from the School of Medical Sciences at the College of Cape Coast (UCC) as quite possibly one of the youngest medical doctors in Ghana.
Brought into the world in 2001 to a father who is a Business and Financial Advisor and a mother who works as a caterer, Gyamfi’s road to becoming a medical doctor started at an extremely youthful age. At only five years old, he began his primary education at Danem Royal Montessori School in Ghana’s capital Accra, and finally finished his basic education in 2014 when he was 13.
That same year, 2014, he gained admission to Prempeh College Senior High School in Ghana’s Ashanti region for his secondary education. Interestingly, he completed his secondary education at only 16, in 2017. He consequently went through what has been depicted as a “thorough” interview process before gaining admission to the UCC School of Medical Sciences in 2017 while he was as yet 16.
On September 7, 2023, Gyamfi graduated from the UCC School of Medical Sciences at the age of 22 after a six-year medical educational journey. The only male child among four siblings, Gyamfi has made his parents, companions and other relatives pleased by becoming one of the youngest medical doctor in the country. Social media was wowed by his graduation photos, with many wondering how a youngster like him could be graduating as a medical doctor.
Yet, Gyamfi isn’t the only Ghanaian to have achieved this amazing feat. Two years ago, Erica Maame Abena Pomaa Ntiamoah Mensah also became one of the youngest medical doctor in the West African country at age 21 after successfully completing her medical program at the Accra College of Medicine.
