AMENFI CENTRAL GOES PINK: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF

The Amenfi Central District in the Western Region of Ghana has launched a one-week Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign with a symbolic health walk and free health screenings.

The event, held at Manso Amenfi, the district capital, saw participation from community leaders, departmental heads, and other stakeholders.

The campaign, themed “Amenfi Central Goes Pink,” aims to raise awareness about breast cancer and promote early detection and prevention in the community. Speaking at the launch, Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe emphasized the importance of unity in the fight against breast cancer, urging all to put aside political affiliations and work together towards a common goal.

“Everyone must put political affiliations aside and unite in the fight against breast cancer,” Hon. Cudjoe said.

The event featured a health walk through the community, followed by free health screenings for participants.

The screenings provided an opportunity for individuals to check their health status and receive information on breast cancer prevention and early detection.

Breast cancer is a significant health concern globally, and awareness campaigns like this one in Amenfi Central play a crucial role in educating communities about the disease and promoting early detection practices.

The Amenfi Central District’s Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is expected to run for one week, with various activities planned to engage the community and promote awareness about breast cancer.
