Genetic Alliance of Ghana
Genetic Alliance of Ghana is an initiative under Rare Disease Ghana Initiative with the aim to bring all rare disease patient organisations in Ghana for every rare disease into one national community to speak with one voice. We are building the rare disease patient movement of tomorrow. Membership is opened to patient organisations and support groups connected to congenital, genetic and rare diseases.
Collective Mission
Our collective mission is improving the wellbeing and quality of lives of all those affected by genetic and rare diseases in Ghana, including improved knowledge and awareness, timely diagnosis and prevention (when possible), access to best treatment and care (regardless of where the family lives in Ghana), engagement with supportive community care (volunteer patient-based and established resources), fair access to appropriate therapies based on patient needs, and support for research that builds on Ghanaian expertise and promotes application.
