CAPE COAST TEACHING HOSPITAL CELEBRATES A GLOBAL ACHIEVEMENT!

Dr. Emmanuella Faith Amoako Named 2026 IHME Roux Prize Winner.

Cape Coast Teaching Hospital is proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement as Dr. Emmanuella Faith Amoako, Lead Pediatric Oncologist at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, has been named the 2026 Roux Prize winner by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).

The prestigious $100,000 Roux Prize recognizes Dr. Amoako’s outstanding use of health evidence to improve early diagnosis, expand access to childhood cancer treatment, and advance locally led cancer research in Ghana.

Through her leadership and dedication, Dr. Amoako has played a pivotal role in transforming childhood cancer care, both at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital and across Ghana. Her work has focused on strengthening early detection, improving access to treatment, developing the oncology workforce, fostering national research collaboration, and advancing locally led cancer research.

In 2019, Dr. Amoako established a shared-care pediatric oncology service at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, bringing specialist childhood cancer treatment closer to families who previously had to travel for up to nine hours to access care. Since its establishment, the service has cared for more than 150 children, helping improve treatment adherence while strengthening coordination between healthcare facilities.

Her commitment to improving childhood cancer care has also translated into infrastructure development.

Dr. Emmanuella-Faith Amoako has spearheaded the ongoing construction of a 24-bed Paediatric Oncology Facility at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, a landmark project aimed at expanding the hospital’s capacity to provide comprehensive and quality cancer care for children.

The facility represents a significant step forward in creating a more supportive environment for children battling cancer and their families, while strengthening Cape Coast Teaching Hospital’s role in paediatric oncology care.

Cape Coast Teaching Hospital congratulates Dr. Emmanuella Faith Amoako on this well-deserved global recognition. Her achievement is an inspiration and a testament to what can be achieved through evidence-based healthcare, visionary leadership, innovation, collaboration and compassionate service.

Congratulations, Dr. Emmanuella Faith Amoako
