Rural Health Equity Program: Expanding Access

Cocoa360 remains committed to ensuring that rural cocoa-growing communities have access to affordable, dignified, and high-quality healthcare. Through our Rural Health Equity Program, we continue to bridge healthcare gaps for families who would otherwise struggle to access essential medical services. A major part of this commitment includes waiving user fees for all community members aged 60 and above, ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of their well-being.

We are excited to share that our ongoing expansion of the TBCC is still underway, marking a major step toward improving patient care and addressing challenges such as limited ward space, overcrowded treatment areas, and the absence of dedicated specialized units. Once completed, the expanded facility will house a delivery unit, nursery, surgical theater, specialized wards, and recovery rooms — ensuring that families can receive comprehensive care.

As part of our continued focus on preventive healthcare, we collaborated with the Ministry of Health during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to administer the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to our girls aged 9–14 at the Tarkwa Breman Girls’ School. This life-saving vaccine helps protect against cervical cancer, a major threat to women’s health.

We extend our deepest appreciation to our partners and donors, whose generosity continues to make these life-changing interventions possible. Your commitment empowers us to reach the most vulnerable, expand essential services, and move closer to a future where quality healthcare is accessible to all.

Thank you for believing in this mission and for standing with us as we transform lives in rural cocoa-growing communities.
