Gender Ministry to organise 10-day free breast cancer screening

She pledged the Ministry’s continued collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, development partners and other stakeholders to strengthen awareness, advocacy and support for people and families affected by breast cancer.

She said the Ministry would also run a month-long social media campaign to provide accurate information on breast cancer, encourage early action and promote awareness of the disease.

As part of efforts to address the situation, the Minister has announced that her ministry will organise a 10-day free breast cancer screening exercise in Accra as part of a series of interventions to promote early detection and reduce deaths from the disease.
