On Friday 3rd September First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo inaugurated The Childhood Cancer Society of Ghana. They will have a leading role as practitioners and advocates, to ensure our children can access effective, quality, lifesaving care anywhere in Ghana. Their vision of ‘Cure for all children affected by cancer in Ghana’ is a charge to make a difference in the outcomes for Ghanaian children.
Their membership includes medical professionals, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, teachers even Chaplains and Imams. This represents the multidisciplinary teams that are required, to deliver holistic quality care to children affected by cancer.
Indeed if we want to overcome the challenges associated with childhood cancers, we have to work together. No one person can do it. We must each play our roles while complementing each other. We must recognize that we are all fighting on the same side, in the same battle. The only outcome is to win.
