Africa World Airlines (AWA) has generously donated over GH₵60,000 to the Breast Cancer Unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to support breast cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Speaking at the donation ceremony, Joselyn Andoh, Brand and Corporate Communications Manager of AWA, stated that the initiative aims to reduce the financial burden on patients and assist them throughout their treatment journey.

This is part of our commitment to improving the lives of patients battling breast cancer and contributing to the fight against this disease," she added.

Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health challenge in Ghana, with the World Health Organization (WHO) reporting over 4,000 new cases annually and more than 2,000 deaths each year. Globally, breast cancer accounts for 29.5% of all cancer cases, while Ghana’s prevalence rate stands at 19.5%, highlighting the critical need for support.

The donation, made possible by the contributions of AWA’s generous passengers and dedicated staff, reflects the airline’s commitment to making a positive impact on health in Ghana.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the unit, Dr. Florence Dedey and Dr. Maurice Dordunoo, a surgeon at the Breast Cancer Unit, expressed gratitude for AWA’s support. He noted that many patients struggle to afford the necessary treatments, and donations like this are vital in bridging the gap and saving lives.

Africa World Airlines remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting communities and initiatives that improve lives, with this donation standing as a testament to its dedication to making a meaningful difference.
