Action Child Cancer Africa (ACCA) is committed to revolutionising childhood cancer care in West Africa. We envision a future where every child has the chance to beat cancer and live a fulfilling life. Our ambitious goals reflect our dedication to these young warriors and their families.

By 2027, ACCA aims to complete the Pediatric Oncology West Africa Centre of Excellence at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana. This state-of-the-art facility will provide high-quality cancer care, specialised training, and groundbreaking research tailored to the unique needs of West African children.

Over the next five years, our goal is to increase the survival rate for children with cancer in Ghana and surrounding regions by at least 30%. This will be achieved through early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment options, and quality post-treatment care.

ACCA is also committed to empowering healthcare professionals. By 2029, we aim to train and certify over 500 healthcare workers, equipping them with specialised pediatric oncology skills and strengthening local healthcare systems.

Working with governments, NGOs, and international organisations, we will advocate for policy changes that prioritise pediatric cancer care and funding, making sustainable care a government-supported initiative.

By 2030, ACCA will establish satellite treatment programs across rural areas in Ghana, addressing disparities in access and ensuring high-quality care reaches underserved communities.
