Bio:
Seth Kwame Boateng is an assistant editor with JoyNews, Ghana. He is an international multiple award-winning journalist. In 2015, he was adjudged the overall-best journalist in Ghana. In 2017, He won the Global Health Contest Organised by Johnson & Johnson in the US and also won the overall best journalist in West Africa. In 2019, He was inducted into the Ghana Leadership Hall of Fame, with over 25 local and international awards to his credit. Seth has three Master’s Degrees in Communication Studies (University of Ghana), Conflict Peace and Security (Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre) and Public Health (University of Leeds). Some of Seth’s works have triggered paradigm shifts that run the gamut from prison reforms, extensive improvement in healthcare infrastructure to the alleviation of the plight of the very vulnerable in society. Documentaries like ‘Locked-and-Forgotten’ and ‘Left-to-Rot’, played an important role in recent prison reform efforts in Ghana. His story ‘Next to Die’ which highlighted the critical issue of child mortality and maternal deaths in Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, succeeded in drawing the much-needed help and attention KATH needed to complete construction work on that unit of the hospital. Over $2 million was raised to build an ultra-modern maternity and mother-and-baby unit for the hospital. Another addition to Mr Boateng’s repertoire was the story of Dari Poga, an octogenarian left destitute by leprosy which moved the Vice President of Ghana to donate some cash, food supplies and the construction of a 2 bedroom house for her. His recent documentary on road accidents involving children got authorities to put in place measures to halt the carnages on Ghana’s roads. A 3-bedroom house is being built for one of the children featured in that documentary. At this stage in his career, Seth is looking at giving back in a different way working with the younger generation. He is married with three children.
