Mrs. Comfort Opoku-Ware is the Greater Accra Regional Manager of the Ghana Tourist Board (GTB). She has been working with this organization for the past 23 years. Mrs. Opoku-Ware has been actively involved in tobacco control for about seven years. In her capacity as the Regional Manager she has actively chaired and facilitated workshop and seminars with the Ghana Health Service and WHO to make public places smoke-free. Her particular interest in tobacco control/smoke free public places has allowed her to serve on WNTD planning committees.
Mrs. Comfort Opoku-Ware as a Regional Manager has also collaborated with the GHS and WHO to produce ”no smoking” signs for tables and walls for selected public places in Accra. She is currently discussing with her organization how to enforce the ban on smoking in Public places when the Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hopefully announces the ban this year (2008).
