About GAEC Cancer Awareness
The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), situated in the Ga-East municipality in the Greater Accra Region, offers healthcare services through its GAEC Hospital and undertakes research on cancer prevention, early detection and treatment through the Radiological and Medical Sciences Research Institute (RAMSRI). The Institute (RAMSRI) and the GAEC Hospital are jointly embarking on a drive to educate and create awareness about cancer in Ghana. In 2023, RAMSRI and the GAEC Hospital aims to undertake a massive sensitization and awareness creation on breast cancer in the Ga-East Municipality, a district which is cosmopolitan in nature, has population of 280,000 and lacks a coordinated programme of breast cancer awareness, education and advocacy.
Our Mission
- We create education and awareness about cancer prevention in the community.
- We advocate for free breast cancer screening to women (during breast cancer month).
- We perform research studies on cancers towards preventing the cancer, saving lives and living well with the disease.
- We bring hope to those affected by cancer through early detection, education, and support services.
