Dr. Ida Dzifa Dey, a Consultant Physician and Rheumatologist, founded The Rheumatology Initiative with a vision to change the narrative around autoimmune rheumatic diseases in Africa.

Witnessing the growing need for awareness and early diagnosis, Dzifa is devoted to improving the lives of those affected, particularly young people.

She actively engages in public education through regular newspaper articles and TV interviews and dreams of establishing a world-class autoimmune disease care centre in Ghana.
