Job Description

Project Overview

Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death in women across Africa. In Ghana, breast cancer has the highest incidence and mortality of all cancers. Jhpiego is partnering with the Pfizer Foundation on Breast Cancer End-to-end care from Assessment to Treatment (BEAT) Breast Cancer in Ghana —a transformational initiative aimed at reducing mortality among women with Breast Cancer through stage-shifting, early diagnostics, and timely treatment. This partnership seeks to reduce the symptomatic period of breast cancer in Ghana from the current 12 months to less than three months by rooting the intervention in innovations, women-centered care, and patient navigation pathways to saturate PHC capacity for early detection by clinical breast exam (CBE), institutionalize breast health awareness interventions in social behavior change communications (SBCC) platforms, ensure timely diagnosis by decentralizing diagnoses at the secondary level, and facilitate access to multimodality treatment.  

 

Jhpiego aims to strive towards creating strong, innovative, and sustainable implementation models integrated into Ghana’s health system and grounded in a woman-centered approach to ensure respectful and responsive services for all women with breast cancer. 

 

The project is being implemented across selected districts in the Ashanti, Greater Accra, and Northern regions of Ghana and will end in December 2027. 

 

We are currently looking for a suitable professional to fill the position of Regional Technical Officer based in Tamale.
