The Tema Branch Manager of NDK Financial Services, Phanuel Fiamor, is urging government must endeavour to join in the awareness creation of breast cancer, saying the response rate for this year’s breast cancer awareness month has been positive.
He said “the rate at which the public identified themselves with the breast cancer awareness month has been really encouraging, and I think government must do more in the coming years to ensure the message gets to all across the country.”
Mr. Fiamor said this when the company, in collaboration with the Trust Hospital, undertook its last breast cancer screening and awareness exercise at its Tema office.
The exercise was to wrap up the breast cancer awareness creation month in October.
According to him, in 2017, the company screened about one thousand two hundred fifty people, and was hoping to hit up to about three thousand people this year.
“This year has been very impressive and we hope we shall be able to hit about three thousand people due to the high level of response rate.”
He said NDK Financial Services believes early detection and treatment is important in the fight against breast cancer hence the screening.
“Early detection and treatment is important to safeguard the well-being of our people. NDK is customer oriented financial services, and we believe that when our customers are safe, the better for us.”
The Medical Doctor in charge of the Well Woman Clinic at the Trust Hospital, Dr. Victoria Patty Newman, noted that quite a number of incidents have been recorded in this year’s breast screening, and will be checked after they are taken through the various laboratory tests.
She expressed her appreciation to the government for its role in this year’s campaign, and urged them to do more to ensure it receives the assistance it deserves.
