Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) shared on LinkedIn:
”We are excited to announce this year’s Roux Prize recipient, Dr. Emmanuella Amoako!
Dr. Amoako has advanced childhood cancer care to populations in Ghana as Lead Pediatric Oncologist at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, where she has built evidence-backed services that improve early diagnosis, expand access to treatment, and strengthen locally led research.
Her work has resulted in the development of a community-driven program designed to reduce delays in childhood cancer diagnoses by training primary health care workers and parents to recognize warning signs and connect patients with specialized care.
Dr. Amoako is currently a Cancer Genetics Fellow at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Director of Clinical Affairs at Yemaachi Biotech, Secretary of the Childhood Cancer Society of Ghana, part-time lecturer at the University of Cape Coast School of Medical Sciences, and student pursuing a Master of Science at Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics.
Her leadership and advocacy will be celebrated at an award ceremony in London this October.
Learn more about the Roux Prize and Dr. Amoako’s work.”
Emmanuella-Faith Amoako, Director of Clinical Affairs at Yemaachi Biotechnology, shared IHME’s post, adding:
”To say I am honoured is an understatement.
This is for the Ghanaian Child!”
