Description : The Director Indian Association of Ghana Accra, Ghana. Dear Sir/Madam REQUEST FOR PARTNERSHIP Healthier & Happier Life Foundation (HHLF), is investing in collaborative efforts to improve cancer outcome in Ghana. HHLF is a not-for-profit organization aimed at promoting preventive medicine, advocating for quality healthcare and equity in access to good health. We would like to request your support/partnership for the second edition of our empowerment conference for cancer patients in Ghana dubbed “Empowered to live: Surviving the cancer journey II” to mark next year’s World Cancer Day (4th February, 2021). The Foundation organized the very first patient empowerment conference in Ghana. This maiden conference was held on 4th February 2020 on the theme “Empowered to live: Surviving the cancer journey” to mark this year’s World Cancer Day. The event was done in partnership with Sweden Ghana Medical Centre. It was a success and we are happy to have impacted our patients, caregivers and the general public positively: “Proud to have partnered in such a great event that gave patients the platform to share their brave stories. Many cancer myths were exposed and those who attended were grateful for a chance to learn about cancer in Africa and challenges that patients face” (CEO, SGMC) We anticipate a more awesome and impactful conference to mark 2021 World Cancer Day on Thursday, 4th February 2021. The Foundation will therefore be grateful if you could support its budget by a sum of Two Thousand Ghana Cedis to cater for stipends for our resource persons. Why it Matters This conference responds to a real need in Ghana as more than 22,800 people are diagnosed of cancer and as many as 15,089 die from it yearly. The most dominant of these cancers include breast (4,645), cervical cancer (3,151), liver (2,753), prostate (2,132) and colorectum (cancer of colon, rectum and anus) (1,228). The deaths associated with these cancers include: liver (2,737), cervical cancer (2119), breast (1871), prostate (1098) and colorectum (824). Liver cancer remains number one cause of cancer death (99% mortality rate) across both sexes while cervical (67% mortality rate) and prostate (52% mortality rate) cancers are leading causes of cancer death among the Ghanaian women and men respectively. While quality of life and survival for most of these cancers diagnosed at same stage in developed countries remain high, that cannot be said of Ghana. This difference can be attributed to many factors. Evidence shows that many cancer patients abscond during treatment. Available data from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) shows that less than 50% of the total number of cases referred to the hospital in a year complete their treatment. This often happens not because of the cost of care nor the medical services but as a result of social and behavioral issues. There continues to be inaccuracy and inadequacy of information regarding cancer treatment including its dos and don’ts. This renders many individuals diagnosed of cancer at the mercies of negative information from friends, relatives, ‘counselors’, ‘spiritualists’, ‘healers’ and fake sites. This deters individuals from treatment or negatively influence the treatment process and therefore compromises their chances of survival. Many resort to herbal treatment instead of orthodox until later stage when they see no hope in the herbal. Many combine the herbal and other chemicals in addition to the orthodox. This causes complex chemical interactions and therefore does not lead to better outcome. Many also forego completely the treatment procedure for spiritual interventions either in churches or traditional settings, which results in awful outcomes. However, cancer is increasingly developing among the younger population. Our Mission We realized through our engagements with individuals diagnosed of cancer over the years that many wish to see others who had successful treatment and have better outcome to serve as motivation to them. Many want to know the strategies these individuals adopted that enabled them the chance of healthy life. Based on these many issues confronting people and families, Healthier & Happier Life Foundation (HHLF), seeks to empower the current cohort of cancer patients receiving treatment in Ghana in order to help improve their quality of life and their overall survival and break cancer myths through education. Project Description The strategy for this conference include: 1) engagement of people who had cancer, undergone treatment and are living healthily for the past ten or more years. 2) these individuals will include a) people who had treatment locally (Ghana), b) those who had treatment outside Ghana and c) those who had treatment both in Ghana and outside Ghana as resource people 3) these individuals will share their experiences with the current cohort of cancer patients and serve as hope to them How to Donate You can make a direct bank transfer to HHLF with the details below: Account Name Healthier and Happier Life Foundation Bank Access Bank Ghana Swift Code ABNGGHAC Account Number 0430224281831 Branch University of Ghana, Legon Account Currency Ghana Cedis Thank you in advance for your support, which will contribute to saving and improving the lives of many.
