Challenge

Many cancer patients in Ghana struggle to access consistent care due to long travel distances to hospitals, high transportation costs, and physical weakness caused by treatment. As a result, patients often miss follow-up appointments, experience unmanaged symptoms at home, and rely heavily on family members who may lack caregiving skills. This gap in care increases suffering and can lead to preventable complications or hospital readmissions.

Solution

This program delivers essential medical and supportive care directly to cancer patients in their homes. Funds will support trained healthcare workers and caregivers to provide symptom management, medication support, wound care, pain control, counseling, and caregiver education. Home-based care allows patients to receive quality care in a familiar, comfortable environment.

Long-Term Impact

Home-based care reduces the burden on healthcare facilities while ensuring continuous, compassionate care for cancer patients. Over time, this approach improves treatment outcomes, supports family caregivers, and strengthens community-based cancer care systems in Ghana.
