With support from the Pfizer Foundation, Jhpiego is partnering with Ghana’s Ministry of Health to improve early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer. This three-year initiative trains primary health care providers to conduct clinical breast exams, integrates breast health awareness into behavior change platforms, and decentralizes diagnostic services to secondary-level facilities.

The project is increasing access to multimodality treatment, with a goal of screening 100,000 women and establishing 12 diagnostic centers across the Ashanti, Greater Accra, and Northern regions.

With funding from Latter-day Saint Charities, the MaNuCARE project is working with secondary-level hospitals to help them better manage complications at birth and provide specialized care for small and vulnerable newborns.

The project implements newborn care packages to improve survival and respiratory support, strengthens maternity services for better risk identification and management, and digitizes maternal and newborn health data.

Ongoing training, mentorship, and provision of essential equipment are building resilient, high-performing facilities that deliver high-quality care for mothers and newborns.

With funding from the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Jhpiego engages stakeholders and family planning leaders to design a comprehensive scale-up strategy, launch implementation activities, and position Ghana to collaborate with global partners.

By adopting best practices in contraceptive service delivery, the initiative is expanding women’s choices and strengthening family planning services nationwide.
