Nonprofit Cosmetic Surgery For Breast Cancer Survivors In West Africa

The Center For Cosmetic Surgery Ghana

(CCSG) was set up in 2006 as a for-profit entity in Ghana by Dr. Kwasi A. Debra and his associates. Based on needs seen

by Dr. Debra from patients that need cosmetic surgery treatment devoid of vanity, he

has seriously been considering the establishment of a West Africa Nonprofit Cosmetic

Surgery Unit for breast cancer survivors.

The long-term goal of CCSG and Aesthetic Laser and Vein Center; Dr. Debra’s Bowie Maryland practice in the USA, is to enhance the nonprofit hub idea such that more people across the west African

sub-region come to benefit from it. Partners and potential sponsors have begun

working together to make the West Africa Nonprofit Cosmetic Surgery Unit (WANCSU) a

possibility by the close of 2025.

Dr. Debra, a US based Ghanaian cosmetic surgeon

born November 24, 1957, identified some of these non-vanity treatment categories in

an interview with TheAfricanDream.net — during a meet up late 2016 in Washington,

DC, — as being needed mostly by women.

Why a West Africa Nonprofit Cosmetic Surgery

Unit

“Based on my years of experience from working in Ghana

on women coming from across various West African countries to the CCSG, I have been

able to identify some of these needs to be in the forms of breast reconstruction and

cosmetic procedures for people who have had breast cancer and have received treatment”

Dr. Debra said.

The cosmetic surgeon went on to say that “...some of these women after

receiving breast cancer treatment might have prosthesis fitted to create the

appearance of an actual breast. Eventually, some of them though need extensive

surgery that might seem reconstructive with certain cosmetic components

involved.”

“It is for situations like these that make me want to invest in setting up the WANCSU nonprofit unit

where we can get potential sponsors to help us assist people that need cosmetic

surgery related treatment that is not vanity but more humanitarian oriented,” the

surgeon told TheAfricanDreams.net

Cosmetic and plastic surgeons from all over

the world and Africa would be encouraged to lend expertise and time to treating

patients within the west Africa sub-region and anyone traveling outside it to receive

treatment at WANCSUÂ when it is completed.

Reason For the West Africa Focus

When TheAfricanDream.net asked why the focus on West

Africa, Dr. Debra said because Africa is a big continent, for now, he does not

intend to spread out to cover the entire continent, plus South Africa and some other

technologically and medically developed countries have already set themselves on a

great path to building vibrant cosmetic surgery industries in Africa.

“My partners

and I are calling on anyone interested in helping make this 2025 dream of ours to set

up WANCSUÂ a reality to reach out so we start laying the foundation stone for this

all important humanitarian responsibility.” - Dr. Debra
