Edgar Akuffo-Addo

Excited to announce my successful campaign for @CMA_Docs President-Elect! Thanks to medical students, resident doctors & physicians all over the province who supported me & shared candid advice on how we can work together. With gratitude, I thank my colleagues and mentors, both in academia and in the community, for their guidance and counsel. Lastly, I thank my family for their enduring support. Dr. Susan MacDonald  has given  many years of service to healthcare and Palliative care in particular and I thank her for participating in the campaign process. Much work is ahead to make life better for our profession and the communities we serve. I’m humbled and honoured to be your incoming President-Elect and look forward to the years ahead where we can do big things - together. Onward!
