His research interests focus on improving access to healthcare for patients with chronic illnesses, particularly end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), in low-resource settings such as Ghana. He is conducting a mixed-methods study exploring the barriers and facilitators to hemodialysis care among patients and healthcare providers in Ghana.

He holds a Master of Science in Advanced Nursing Practice from the University of Cape Coast and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University for Development Studies, Ghana. His clinical career began at Tamale Teaching Hospital, where he rose from staff nurse to senior nursing officer, gaining hands-on experience in medical and surgical care.

Since 2016, he has been a faculty member at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Ghana, where he currently serves as a lecturer. In addition to teaching, he has taken on key administrative roles, including Access Course Coordinator and Registration/Examination Officer, and actively mentors undergraduate students in research and evidence-based nursing practice.

Milipaak has received advanced training in mixed-method research, research ethics (TCPS 2: CORE), systematic reviews (JBI), and knowledge mobilization. His team has contributed to international nursing dialogue, including a presentation at the 2023 ICN Congress in Montreal. He is also scheduled to present his work at the 2025 ICN Congress in Helsinki on the social and healthcare service needs of patients undergoing hemodialysis in Ghana.

Passionate about health equity, health systems improvement, and global collaboration, Milipaak seeks to contribute to transformative health research.
