Module 1 equips trainees with the knowledge and skills to set up a screening unit and screen for cervical precancer
Module 2 equips trainees with the knowledge and skills to treat precancerous lesions of the cervix with thermal coagulation and cryotherapy.
After seven years of work, the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Training Centre (CCPTC) in Catholic Hospital, Battor can now proudly say that the vision it set out to achieve is within reach. Before the last training programme, 15 out of the 16 Regions had institutions that could treat cervical precancer with ablation (thermal ablation/cryotherapy). Ahafo Region had no centre for treatment of cervical precancer. In the last training programme, two midwives from Goaso Municipal Hospital and two midwives from St. John of God Catholic Hospital, Duayaw-Nkwanta were trained.
This feat has been achieved through a USD 70,000 Rotary Foundation grant secured by the Rotary Clubs of Accra-East (Ghana) and Eau Claire (USA). In September 2023, the two Rotary Clubs presented fifty (50) thermal coagulators to the CCPTC in Catholic Hospital, Battor for distribution to health institutions across Ghana after training [1]. The thermal coagulators have now reached all 16 Regions of Ghana. The health workers trained in Ahafo Region are: A. Debora Akiwele Ali, Midwife, Goaso Municipal Hospital, Asunafo North Municipal. B. Hanna Gyekyewaah, Midwife, Goaso Municipal Hospital, Asunafo North Municipal. C. Matilda Boatema Opoku, Midwife/Public Health Nurse, St. John of God Catholic Hospital, Duayaw-Nkwanta, Tano North Municipal. D. Faustina Dei, Midwife, St. John of God Catholic Hospital, Duayaw-Nkwanta, Tano North Municipal. Reference 1.
