The Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence (OOTII CCCoE) is set to host a fundraising gala in the United States to support the construction of a new $100 million cancer treatment and research facility in Ghana. The event, "An Evening for Cure," will take place on September 4, 2026, in Greenbelt, Maryland, and will be attended by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as well as other key figures in the project.
The facility aims to provide comprehensive cancer care services, including prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, research, education, and training.
