Predictors of HIV treatment interruption among people living with HIV in 6 regions in Ghana: a retrospective cohort study
Kwarah and colleagues’ BMC Public Health study used 227,319 follow-up visits from 33,613 participants across 245 facilities. Its acknowledgements formally thank Ekow Wiah and Philip Boakye for extracting the national HIV e-Tracker datasets used for the analysis. Credit shown here is for acknowledged dataset extraction—not authorship.

The final Ghana AIDS Commission report formally names Philip Boakye among Ghana’s National Estimates Team for work generating the estimates and developing the report. The 2025 process used Spectrum 6.43 and Naomi 2.10.19 to produce national and sub-national estimates spanning all 16 regions and 261 districts, with trends and projections to 2030. Credit shown here is a documented team contribution—not an authorship claim.

The Ghana AIDS Commission’s 2024 report formally acknowledges Philip Boakye among Ghana’s National Estimates Team for contributing to the generation of the estimates and development of the report. The national and sub-national estimation process used Spectrum/EPP and Naomi with demographic, surveillance and HIV programme data. Credit shown here is a documented team contribution—not an authorship claim.
