About GAND
The Ghana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (GAND) is the only professional association representing the professional, educational, public and workplace interests of licensed and Registered Dietitians and Nutritionists in Ghana. The Academy also seeks to pursue the advancement of nutritional knowledge and practice, for the attainment of optimum nutritional well-being of the community. The majority of members are registered dietitians, and registered nutritionists, however, we also have associate members who are either scientists and practitioners with relevant qualifications in nutrition, dietetics, or food science related field, and students.
The media is filled with dietary and nutritional advice, but not all of it is evidence-based or from reliable sources. Dietitians and nutritionists are the only qualified health professionals trained to assess, diagnose, and manage diet and nutrition-related issues.
These pages will provide insights into the roles of dietitians and nutritionists, the training required to become one, and guidance on locating a dietitian or nutritionist in your area.
