Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe: A Champion of Community Health
The MP, who personally funded 60% of the initiative through her foundation, has made health a cornerstone of her constituency development agenda. Known for her grassroots approach, she stated during the closing ceremony on October 19:
“No woman in Amenfi Central should die from a preventable disease. Early detection is power — and we are giving our people that power.”
This outreach builds on her previous campaigns, including the 2024 Cervical Cancer Screening Drive (1,900 women) and 2023 Child Vaccination Blitz (5,000+ kids).
GELL’s Role: Corporate Social Responsibility in Action
Golden Empire Legacy Ltd (GELL), a leading mining and community development firm, provided:
– Logistical support (vehicles, tents, generators).
– Medical supplies worth GHS 250,000.
– Volunteer staff from its CSR unit.
CEO Mr. Kofi Amoah said:
“Health is wealth. Partnering with Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe aligns with GELL’s mission to uplift mining communities.”
Community Voices: “This Saved My Life”
- Madam Akosua Mansa, 52, Wassa Akropong: “I found a lump last year but couldn’t afford screening. Today, I’m referred for treatment — free! God bless OBAANAA.”
- Nana Kwame Asare III, Chief of Hiawoanwu: “For the first time, doctors came to us. This is real leadership.”
Why This Matters
With breast cancer incidence rising 15% in rural Ghana (Ghana Health Service, 2025), initiatives like this are critical. The outreach:
– Detected 42 early-stage cases.
– Reduced stigma around cancer through education.
– Strengthened trust in public health systems.
The Joana Gyan Foundation’s 2025 Breast Cancer & Health Outreach has set a new standard for constituency-led healthcare in Ghana. As the health team declared, “It was an honour to be part of this life-changing mission.”
With Ayeeko ringing across Amenfi Central, Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe — OBAANAA — continues to prove that vision + action = transformation.
