Emelia Ofori Agyemang, Senior Midwife at Bediako Community and Health Planning Services (CHPS) Compound, has reiterated that self-examination helps in early diagnoses of breast cancer at the initial stage.
Ms Agyemang also recommended an annual clinical breast examination and a monthly self-examination.
She said this during a health engagement session with students of Michel Camp '1' JHS to create awareness on breast cancer.
The Senior Midwife, who is also a breast cancer and cervical cancer focal person for the CHPS Compound, illustrated that breast self-examination must start with first looking at the breast in a mirror with the shoulders held straight and arms on the hips.
