Breast cancer campaign takes a new turn as advocates focus on what happens after screening

The project is being launched in the Ashanti Region with education and screening activities aimed at identifying women who may have breast cancer and helping them move through the health system for diagnosis and treatment.

Her question captures the thinking behind a new project being implemented by Breast Care International with Jhpiego in selected communities in Ghana.

The first exercise was held at Boanim Senior High Technical School, where teachers and students were educated about breast cancer and taught how to carry out self-examination.
