The Allied Health
Professions Council is pleased to officially welcome Dr. Issahaku Shirazu as it’s
newly appointed Registrar.
Dr. Shirazu brings with him a wealth of knowledge, a deep sense of purpose, and

and grit to become one of Ghana’s most respected medical physicists. Dr Shirazu

of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Beyond his impressive academic and professional record, over 30 peer-reviewed publications, multiple software solutions, and countless technical contributions, Dr. Shirazu has always kept his focus on one thing; impact. Be it within the educational system, developing imaging protocols for radiation oncology, or mentoring the next generation of medical physicists, his goal remains unchanged, to make science work for society.
As the former President of the Ghana Federation of Allied Health Professions, Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana Society for Medical Physics, and Chair of the Council’s own Profession-Specific Committee, Dr. Shirazu is no stranger to leadership in the regulatory space.
