Women are encouraged to get regular breast cancer screenings.
Women have been urged to undergo regular breast cancer screening in order to avoid late-stage disease and death.
According to Dr. Mrs. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, President of Breast Care International (BCI), the disease can be treated and cured if detected early.
On Sunday, August 7, 2022, she said this during a free breast cancer education and screening for members of the Adweso branch of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in Koforidua, Eastern Region.
She stated that most breast cancer deaths could have been avoided if proper screening had been conducted early on to detect it and prompt action could have been taken.
"Because the disease is not painful in its early stages, the only way to detect it is through medical screening." "The disease is only preventable, treatable, and curable if detected early," she said.
Dr. Mrs. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, the CEO of Peace and Love Hospitals in Kumasi and Accra, also asked them to dispel the myth that breast cancer is caused by a spiritual factor.
Dr. Mrs. Wiafe Addai explained that, while the disease's causal agent has yet to be identified, it contains no traces of witchcraft.
She also advised the women to avoid applying traditional medicines to their breasts whenever they noticed unusual things in their breasts and to seek prompt medical attention from qualified health professionals.
Rev Mrs. Janet O. D. Addo, Resident Pastor of Adweso Presbyterian Church of Ghana, urged men to encourage their wives to visit health facilities for breast screening on a regular basis.
She also advised the women not to rely solely on prayers when dealing with complex diseases such as breast cancer, but to seek treatment from hospitals as well.
