215 women drawn from the Rehoboth Apostolic Church, Sakaman in the Greater Accra Region have benefited from a free breast screening exercise organized by the outreach team from Breast Care International (BCI).<\/p>\n

Ahead of the free breast screening was an awareness creation talk by BCI President, Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, who highlighted some non- communicable diseases, notably hypertension and diabetes, which she described as \u201cdisturbing given the rising wave and accompanying mortality cases recorded at health care facilities, hence the urgent need to educate the public to adopt healthy eating habits, in a bid to minimize these induced lifestyle diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

The free screening, the first for the Branch, was highly patronized, with the women crediting their enthusiastic participation and interest to the consistent countrywide awareness creation exercises carried out by BCI in the last fourteen years.<\/p>\n

Others sourced their willingness to participate in the program, alongside friends and relatives, to the stories shared by survivors of the disease.<\/p>\n

On the sidelines of the screening, some women confided in newsmen that they are convinced, based on word of mouth attestation by survivors, that breast cancer is indeed both curable and survivable.<\/p>\n

Some volunteered to unofficially work as brand ambassadors of the disease and help spread the key message of early detection and prompt action, combining, to save lives.<\/p>\n

They commended the selflessness of Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai and the medical team in its entirety, and encouraged them not to relent in their determination to reduce the increasing wave of breast cancer cases in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr. Wiafe, who commended the leadership of the congregation for the invitation, said BCI is poised on advocacy, awareness creation, and counselling, all geared towards meeting breast cancer head-on, for the good of Ghanaian women, and even those beyond.<\/p>\n
