Breast Care International (BCI) and the Kempinski Hotel, Gold Coast City, in Accra, have entered a partnership agreement to generate revenue through patron contributions made voluntarily in order to support treatment and awareness-building initiatives intended to combat the rise in breast cancer statistics.
To help support Breast Care International through the hotel's "Be Healthy Initiative" program, the humanitarian endeavor asks Kempinski guests to pay 15 cedis for each night they stay.
Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, the founder and president of BCI, stated during the signing event in Accra that "stigma" continues to be a problem in the campaign and that we are certain that this initiative will help in encouraging more patients to seek treatment.
She praised the Kempinski Hotel for documenting and supporting a wonderful cause that would save numerous women from the ravages of breast cancer and stated that the charity is intent on lessening the load of paying the treatment cycle of impoverished breast cancer patients for a few.
The plan, according to the BCI president, would revive the original goal of rescuing cancer patients.
We must continue to warn the public that breast cancer is still on the rise because we simply cannot afford to lose our family members and friends to a condition that may be treated if caught early, she said.
She emphasized that the effort will allow BCI to concentrate on treating women who arrive with early-stage problems.
Insisting that "we respect every life and pesewa from the donor community towards breast cancer awareness development activities," Dr. Wiafe stated that no patient should be left out.
She said, "We must all support the new paradigm and refrain from actions that might result in senseless and avoidable breast cancer deaths among our spouses, daughters, sisters, and mothers."
According to Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, our common love and regard for mankind is what makes it so fulfilling to reach out to the poor, destitute woman trapped in the farthest village.
"We are stewards of one another." We are so intimately and immediately impacted by one another's actions that it is only reasonable that we consider everyone in our daily interactions, including the dying and perishing breast cancer patient.
Anne-Marie Bettex-Baars, the managing director of Be Health, and Rozlaine Hakki, the manager of the Kempinski, expressed their joy at the collaboration with Breast Care to save lives.
"We are happy to support the BCI's battle against breast cancer and to have launched our health project. We are confident that if we work together, we can have a substantial influence and contribute to saving lives.
In order for the hotel to help in the battle against breast cancer, she continued, "The Be Health initiative is a continuing endeavor. Guests are urged to continue supporting the campaign by making donations throughout their stay.
