Government to equip health facilities with mammography, radiotherapy machines – Deputy Health Minister

The government is working to provide mammography and radiotherapy machines to strengthen breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment in Ghana, Deputy Health Minister Prof.

A recent review of breast cancer care in Ghana also identified limited access to radiotherapy as a major challenge, noting that radiation treatment was available at only three hospitals across the country.

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund’s initial patient support package includes breast cancer among the conditions covered, with treatment support being delivered through designated hospitals across the country.
