Emergency Medical Travel Fund for Cancer Patients

by ADJAH CANCER SUPPORT GHANA LBG
Emergency Medical Travel Fund for Cancer Patients

Summary

Many cancer patients in Ghana cannot access hospitals on time due to the cost of transportation, especially when treatment centers are far from their homes. This project will provide emergency travel support for low-income patients, ensuring they reach hospitals and clinics for critical treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. Timely travel can save lives and improve treatment outcomes.

Challenge

Cancer treatment in Ghana is often centralized in major hospitals, which are far from many communities. Low-income patients struggle to afford transport, leading to missed appointments, delayed treatment, or treatment abandonment. These delays can worsen health outcomes and increase the risk of preventable deaths.

Solution

This project will provide financial assistance to cover transportation costs for patients traveling to treatment centers. It will also coordinate logistics for emergency travel, helping patients attend critical medical appointments on time. By removing travel barriers, patients can continue treatment without interruption, improving their chances of recovery.

Long-Term Impact

By providing emergency travel support, this project will reduce treatment abandonment and improve survival rates for cancer patients in Ghana. Over time, it will strengthen patient access to care, reduce preventable deaths, and give families hope and stability during treatment.
