World Child Cancer provides training for radiologists

The survival rate of cancer cases is less than fifty percent in the African continent, owing to limited expertise and apparatus, enforcing the inequality in child cancer care in Ghana.

World Child Cancer is critically highlighting the essence of early and accurate detection by enhancing the proficiency and expertise of radiologists in interpreting medical images accurately and efficiently.

The survival rate of child cancer in developed continents is peaking at over 70 per cent.

Dr Obed Kojo Otoo, a senior specialist radiologist at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, says the treatment of cancer, particularly child cancer, is hindered by insufficient equipment and expertise among radiographers and radiologists.

Addressing the gap, World Child Cancer, a charity organization, is acknowledging the limited access to essential imaging services critical in cancer care.

And all our efforts are geared toward addressing global inequality in child cancer care on the African continent and the World.
