On the 29th October 2016, SG Cancer Foundation organized an event in Osu, (Oxford Street) Ghana, distributing fliers and educating women on breast cancer.
SG Cancer reached out to 1,000 persons (mostly women) on the streets of Osu, educating them on the need for breast self – exam. Breast self-exam (BSE), or regularly examining your breasts on your own, can be an important way to find breast cancer early when it is more likely to be treated successfully. It is recommended that all women routinely perform breast self-exams as part of their overall breast cancer screening strategy.
The key message for the day was – early detection is critical and very necessary in fighting and surviving cancer. As a complement to this awareness program, SG Cancer sponsored mammograms for 10 women.
