- Kafui Akakpo (2022): ANATOMIC AND SURGICAL PATHOLOGY, A CLINICIAN’S GUIDE. Icon Publishing Ltd. ISBN: 978-9988-3-3038-5
This book extensively discusses issues of quality relating to the practice of anatomic pathology (autopsy, histopathology, and molecular pathology). It guides non pathology clinicians to use histopathology services and derive the best from pathology clinicians.
In addition it builds on my earlier book by consolidating the chapter on death certification and court procedure as it relates to medical expert witnesses in Ghana. It reviews the current medical certificate of cause of death and reviews the laws governing registration of births and deaths and possession of bodies and body parts.
Finally it discusses the writing of medical reports on wounding.
