PCG (GA ) Presbytery to establish cancer treatment centre in Ghana

The presbyterian comprehensive cancer centre represents a bold and compassionate response to one of the most pressing healthcare challenges in Ghana and the wider west African region.

The Ga Presbyterian Church of Ghana has revealed that the PCG is planning to establish a cancer treatment centre in Ghana to help reduce the burden of the disease in the country.

According to Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, Moderator of the General Assembly, said, when more affordable hospitals are put up to offer oncology services, access to cancer treatment would be widened to save more lives.

Speaking in an interview with the Media on the sidelines of the Ga Presbytery 2024 Session in Accra on Saturday, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, Moderator of the General Assembly, indicated that the health and total wellbeing of the populace must be prioritised.

“There are many Ghanaians struggling with various forms of ailments including cancer that is why we as a church want to come in and help persons battling cancer who have to spend time in queues in order to access treatment due to the limited number of resources to cater for the large number of persons affected by the disease,” Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, Moderator of the General Assembly, added.

However, delivering his key note address, he stated that the session would among others focus on discussing developmental projects undertaken by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana with emphasis on activities of the Ga presbytery.

Rev. Dr. Kwakye said the session would also afford participants the opportunity to deliberate on issues that would help improve the contributions of the PCG towards the development of the country.
