The Ghana Society for Medical Physics is Ghana's representative body for all medical physicists in the country. The organization's purpose is to unite and support its members in Ghana.[1] It was set up in January 2011 to advance the use of principles of physics in medicine. The Society is the governing body for all medical physicists in Ghana, and contributes to their training.[2][3][4][5]

The Society operates under a constitution, code of ethics, and Practice Standards. All its operations are subject to the Ghana Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act 857 of 2013.[6][1][7] The organization carries out research in the areas of radiation therapy, medical imaging and nuclear medicine,[8] and collaborates with other organizations to host seminars and training courses.[3][4] The Ghana Society for Medical Physics is Ghana's national representative to the Federation of African Medical Physics Organizations (FAMPO),[9] and represents the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) in Ghana.[10]

The Society's headquarters is in Accra, at the Medical Physics Department of the School of Nuclear and Allied Sciences of the University of Ghana.[11]
