Prof Quartey spoke briefly about ISSER, highlighting the unmatched quality of its research and training programmes, and the diversity of its 22 highly qualified researchers. He congratulated participants on their decision to enroll for a training programme at ISSER which he applauded as a wise decision. He finally urged them to comply with the COVID-19 safety protocols put in place by the Institute.
On her part, Dr. Addoquaye Tagoe applauded participants for not putting their lives on hold because of COVID-19 pandemic and building their capacity for post-COVID times.
