  • I or a loved one has been diagnosed with leukemia — what support does the Foundation offer right now?

    At present, the Leukaemia Project Foundation's primary focus is the establishment of the Center for Hematology & Clinical Genetics at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. As a result, we are not currently providing direct patient support or financial assistance. Our mission is to build a world-class Center that will significantly improve access to specialized diagnosis, treatment, research, and long-term care for people living with leukemia and other blood disorders in Ghana. As the Foundation grows and the Center becomes operational, we look forward to expanding our programmes to include direct patient support and other essential services.

  • Where can leukemia be diagnosed and treated in Ghana today?

    Diagnosis and treatment are available through specialist hospitals with hematology services, including Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and other major referral hospitals. Patients should seek medical attention as early as possible, as early diagnosis and treatment significantly improves outcomes.

  • Does the NHIS cover leukemia treatment, and what if I can't afford care?

    The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) may cover some consultations, tests, and general healthcare services, but many specialized treatments, medications, and procedures for leukemia are not fully covered. If you are unable to afford treatment, we encourage you to speak with your healthcare team about available support options and financial assistance programmes that may be available through hospitals or partner organizations.

  • How do I contact the Foundation for assistance?

    You can contact us by phone, email, or by completing the enquiry form on our “Contact Us” page. Our team will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible.

  • What is the Centre for Hematology & Clinical Genetics?

    The Centre for Hematology & Clinical Genetics is a flagship project of the Leukaemia Project Foundation in partnership with Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. It is being established as Ghana's first dedicated center for the diagnosis, treatment, research, and long-term management of leukemia and other blood disorders, while also serving as a center for clinical genetics, education, and specialist training.

  • When will it open?

    The Centre is currently under development. Construction and commissioning are being carried out in phases and are dependent on fundraising and strategic partnerships. An official opening date will be announced once the project reaches completion.

  • What services will it offer, and will treatment be free or subsidized?

    The Centre will provide specialized diagnostic laboratories, outpatient and inpatient care, bone marrow transplant services, clinical genetics services, research facilities, and specialist training for healthcare professionals. Details regarding treatment costs, subsidies, and financial assistance programmes will be communicated closer to the Centre's opening, with the aim of making specialist care as accessible and affordable as possible.

  • Why is it being built at Korle-Bu?

    Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital is Ghana's largest teaching and national referral hospital, providing specialist healthcare to patients from across the country and the West African sub-region. Locating the Centre at Korle-Bu allows it to integrate with existing specialist services while expanding Ghana's capacity to diagnose and treat blood disorders.
