As our name suggests, Sweden Ghana Medical Centre (SGMC) had strong ties to Sweden. Founded in 2009 was the idea of the Swedish Government and a group of investors to provide cancer care to people living in West Africa and beyond who seek European standard cancer care. GMI-AB is an investment and project development company for Sweden’s development finance institution, Swedfund, partnered with Elekta, a leading innovator of equipment and software used to improve, prolong and save the lives of people with cancer and brain disorders. A state-of-the-art facility was born and christened SGMC. Today, that is what is being showcased.
In 2015 the destiny of the centre moved to another level. Ownership shifted from the initial investors to The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT). This was concluded in the fall of 2020. Today the dream and aspiration of the forbearers, which was not achieved, are being pursued diligently by its new owners all in the quest to make the centre a one-stop-shop in taking away the burden of cancer. Much of the people’s investment has been in training the best oncology care team in West Africa. SGMC’s clinical team does work that has been showcased in leading health forums globally.
