Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Vice President of Ghana, has launched a “Thank You Teacher” raffle to support cancer care in the country. The initiative, organized by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), aims to raise funds for cancer treatment at the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre, a state-of-the-art facility owned by the association.
The Sweden Ghana Medical Centre, established in 2007, has been providing cancer treatment services, including Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Brachytherapy, Imaging, and second opinion visits, to patients from across West Africa since 2012. The Vice President emphasized the importance of recognizing teachers and supporting vulnerable members of society through this initiative.
The President of the GNAT, Prosper Tachie, called on the government to provide financial support to maintain the facility and ensure its continued operations. Dr. Clement Egyin Edusa, the CEO of the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre, highlighted the critical role the facility plays in Ghana's cancer care system and praised the GNAT for its commitment to extending its mission beyond education and into healthcare and nation-building.
The success of the "Thank You Teacher" raffle relies on the efficient mobilization of resources to sustain cancer treatment services in Ghana.
