Description
Chloe Zabrina Tuck and four co-authors review cancer care and fairness in Ghana in this 2023 paper. Cancer deaths that could be prevented fall heavily on poorer countries. World health leaders urge governments to write plans that close this gap, but many barriers remain.
The review weighs social factors, health system limits, and past policy steps in Ghana. It tracks how the cancer burden is changing and where care falls short. Gaps in funding, staffing, and access leave many patients with late diagnoses and few options. The authors point to chances for future policy to cut the burden and make care more equal.
