Head of Cervical Cancer Prevention and Training Centre (CCPTC) honoured for innovation in health at the 2025 Millennium Excellence Awards.

The head of the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Training Centre (CCPTC) in Catholic Hospital, Battor, Dr. Kofi Effah, was honoured at the Millennium Excellence Awards in Manhyia, Kumasi on Friday, May 9, 2025. The Millennium Excellence Foundation, under the auspices of its Life Patron, His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, conferred the Millennium Excellence Award for ‘Innovation in Health’ on Dr. Effah for his work on cervical cancer prevention in low resource settings.

Established in May 2017, the CCPTC under the leadership of Dr. Effah has used a novel training programme to train over 430 health workers in Ghana and other countries in West Africa to fight cervical cancer using innovative techniques and portable tools. Cervical cancer, though highly preventable, is the second cancer killer of women in Ghana after breast cancer.
