PINK FOR AFRICA AND THE MAIN TEACHING HOSPITALS BY FAR (PART 5)

Hey guys, I am back with another super banger from Pink for Africa for October 2023! Remember from my last post I indicated that after much pondering and deliberations last year, Pink for Africa decided to add two more teaching hospitals to the ship on which we have been sailing over the past 12 years and, hey people, I am proud to announce that Tamale Teaching Hospital was added to Cape Coast Teaching Hospital as the newest addition to the list of the teaching hospitals we have been collaborating with to help the women financially incapable of catering for their diagnostics and treatment.

On the 26^th of October, 2023, I embarked on the journey to Tamale Teaching Hospital at 6am on my flight to mark a new beginning of establishing ties with the hospital to enable them to open the doors for us to assist the women unable to support themselves financially with their treatment. For starters, we were able to help 10 women financially with the sum of GH 15,000 and 12 prostheses. Most women who lived in neighboring towns could not make it that day for the prostheses presentation.

Throughout the years, our donors whom we would never stop thanking have stayed faithful to the cause by always giving through our fundraising events, health walks, and online drives that we organize to generate funds to be able to support our women in the hospitals with breast cancer and cannot afford it.

Below is a breakdown of what we did with the Tamale Teaching Hospital and we would like to thank the staff, especially the acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Atiku Adam, Dr. Abdul Rashid Timtoni Iddrisu(Medical Oncologist), Mr. Salifu Musah ( Acting Director of Nursing Services, Evelyn Osei Amoah, Gifty Sarfo Annan(Oncology Nurse Specialists)  and the Director for the National Blood Bank unit at Tamale for welcoming us with open arms to help people going through breast cancer and making the process easier and smoother for us. 

In the year 2023, 10 patients have benefitted financially with the sum of Gh 15,000, and 12 patients have benefitted from breast prostheses as seen from the table:
