Veronica Bekoe is a Ghanaian Biological Scientist. She is best known for her contribution to the invention and discovery of the Veronica Bucket, which is used to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

Her invention of the veronica bucket stemmed from a problem or gap she identified in her field of work; she noticed that there was a problem with running water and they had to use a bowl of water in turns to wash their hands after medical work, which was very dangerous to their health because everyone had to use the same water until it became dirty; seeing the health implications, she created a prototype bucket.

The bucket was with a tap connected to an aluminum utensil used in the sale of Hausa koko, also known as Akorlaa gyae su, which has since become the internationally famous veronica bucket
