Ghana faces a growing cancer burden while oncology treatment infrastructure remains inadequate and geographically concentrated. The resulting capacity gap contributes to unequal access, longer waiting periods and treatment outside the country. The proposed programme seeks to expand radiotherapy and chemotherapy capacity through seven oncology centres while mobilising private capital to reduce immediate fiscal pressure on Government.

• Seven (7) comprehensive oncology centres to be integrated within existing public hospitals across selected regions. • Radiotherapy and associated oncology treatment equipment required to support the planned treatment capacity.

• Provision of expanded radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment capacity through the seven centres. • Operation of radiotherapy equipment by the private partner. • Maintenance of the oncology facilities and equipment over the project period.

• The project is proposed as a Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain-Transfer (DBFOMT) PPP, with Jaed Solution Ltd responsible for designing and constructing the facilities, financing the infrastructure and equipment, operating radiotherapy equipment, and maintaining the facilities and equipment. • The structure mobilises private capital for the significant upfront investment required for specialised oncology infrastructure and equipment. • Lifecycle maintenance responsibilities remain with the private partner, supporting long-term asset performance and planned upgrades. • Construction, equipment-performance and operational-efficiency risks can be allocated to the private partner, with the project assets transferred at the end of the project period.

Key stakeholders include the Ministry of Health, NHIS/GMTF, the Attorney-General, Ghana Health Service, Teaching Hospitals, Ministry of Energy, Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, National Health Insurance Authority, Ministry of Finance, local government authorities and the general public. Further consultations are expected before implementation to address stakeholder concerns and confirm service requirements.
