The Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah, has taken a swipe at the Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Prof Ahmed Jinapor, over the brouhaha surrounding her \u2018Professor\u2019 title.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on CTV on Monday, August 18, 2025, Dr Ayensu-Danquah indicated that the persons behind the debate about her qualification only want to discredit her.<\/p>\n

She went on to challenge Prof Ahmed Jinapor to bring his CV so it can be compared with hers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy question is, as a state regulator, are we going to settle the matter on social media? Should we be talking about the matter on social media? As a regulator, shouldn\u2019t you be going through due process?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, what I see is just an attempt to discredit the hard work I have done\u2026 I\u2019m still trying to figure it out. So, I want Honourable Jinapor to bring his CV for us to compare,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah does not hold the title of \u2018professor\u2019 in any capacity \u2013 GTEC<\/p>\n

The deputy minister insisted that she was a professor of surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI earned my professor of surgery title long ago. I have a campus in Utah, where I head the global surgery department. But I prefer to be here to help my people; that is why I\u2019m here, that is why I\u2019m not in the classroom every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut even still, I have a residency programme that I manage here in Ghana. I\u2019m doing public research in Ghana, including breast cancer research, quality assurance and quality improvement for surgical care in Ghana. So, the issue is strange to me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
