Breast Cancer awareness must lead to action – Deputy Health Minister

” The theme provides an opportunity to intensify public education on breast cancer while encouraging early detection and timely access to diagnosis and treatment.

Ayensu-Danquah said sustained action across the health system, coupled with increased public awareness and prompt health-seeking behaviour, would be critical to improving outcomes for people affected by breast cancer in Ghana.

Ayensu-Danquah subsequently declared the 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness Month officially launched, calling on stakeholders to use the campaign to promote practical steps that would help more people detect the disease early and access treatment without unnecessary delays.
