Evans Aboagye

Founder & Medical Director

Evans Aboagye is a distinguished medical researcher with an MPhil in Chemical Pathology and extensive experience in oncological imaging. His journey began with groundbreaking research in Ghana, where he witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of late-stage cancer diagnoses in underserved communities.

Driven by his research findings that revealed the urgent need for accessible cancer screening, Evans founded Imaging for Hope International to bridge the gap between advanced diagnostic technology and the communities that need it most.

His vision extends beyond traditional healthcare delivery – he believes in empowering communities through education and making early detection a reality for everyone, regardless of their geographic location or economic status.

Community Education

Workshops, seminars, and awareness campaigns on early detection and prevention strategies.

Research & Innovation

Study cost-effective imaging techniques specifically designed for low-resource settings.

Strategic Partnerships
