VAS Solution saves money for thyroid disoders.

The Thyroid Ghana Foundation (TGF), registered with the Thyroid Federation International (TFI),is a non-profit organization with the aim of promoting thyroid health, supporting persons living with thyroid disorders and facilitating thyroid research. Through our patient support programs, we have been able to guide patients through their thyroid surgeries and other treatment options by offering information, donations (cash covering laboratory investigations, drugs, transportation etc.), dietary counseling, and psychological support.

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck just below the Adam’s apple. It is part of an intricate network of glands called the endocrine system. The thyroid produces hormones which control all essential body functions.
