Ghana Police Service Partners Sweden Ghana Medical Centre to Provide Free Cancer Treatment

The head of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and President of the Police Women Association, Maame Yaa Tiwaa, has revealed an innovative collaboration between the Ghana Police Service and the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre.

Speaking at the launch of “Beyond the Polished Boots,” authored by award-winning journalist Dzifa Tetteh, she explained that this partnership will allow police officers and their spouses to receive cancer treatment at no cost.

“This initiative will alleviate a considerable financial burden for our officers and their families,” she stated, emphasizing its importance in supporting those who serve and protect the nation.

The partnership comes at a crucial time when healthcare access remains a challenge for many in law enforcement. With rising cancer rates globally, this initiative aims to ensure that those who dedicate their lives to public safety can receive necessary medical care without financial strain. 

The collaboration is expected to enhance the overall well-being of police personnel, allowing them to focus on their duties without the added stress of health-related expenses.

Maame Yaa Tiwaa also expressed gratitude towards the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre for their commitment to this cause. She noted that such collaborations are essential for fostering a healthier workforce within the police service.

The initiative reflects a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive health support systems within public service sectors.

Dzifa Tetteh’s book launch, held at the Kofi Ohene Konadu Auditorium of the University of Professional Studies, Accra, not only celebrated her literary achievements but also served as a platform for discussing pressing issues affecting police officers.

As panellists and attendees engaged in discussions about the book, they reflected on some of the unspoken struggles those in law enforcement and their spouses face.
