BSoG holds breast cancer awareness walk
Some participants embarking on a walk
The Breast Society of Ghana (BSoG) held a breast cancer awareness walk over the weekend, aiming to boost nationwide awareness about breast cancer and encourage early detection.
The event started at the Independence Square in Accra, proceeding through major streets with participants from the Ghana Armed Forces, Police Service, Ghana National Fire Service, corporate institutions, and numerous breast cancer survivors.
In an interview with journalists after the walk, BSoG’s newly elected president, Dr Josephine Nsaful, stressed the importance of public education on breast cancer, particularly as misinformation and stigma remain barriers to early intervention.
She reaffirmed BSoG’s commitment to ongoing outreach beyond October, emphasising that an informed public was key to identifying early symptoms for timely treatment.
“We are serious about saving lives through awareness and urge everyone to join us in ending the stigma and supporting those affected by the disease,” Dr Nsaful stated.
Margaret Dame, a breast cancer survivor who took part in the walk, noted the impact of survivors sharing their experiences, as it reassures others that breast cancer was not a death sentence.
She urged survivors to speak up and educate others, stressing the need for early intervention and support for those in need.
The BSoG intends to continue such activities across the country to foster a more supportive environment for breast cancer patients and survivors.
