Ghana records 5,000 breast cancer cases, nearly 2,000 deaths annually – Gender Minister

The campaign is being held under the theme “Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters”, with a focus on early detection, timely diagnosis, access to treatment and support for people affected by breast cancer.

The Ministry has also called on the media to sustain public education on breast cancer beyond October and encourage Ghanaians to make early detection, timely treatment and support for patients a year-round priority.

The World Health Organisation also says early detection, timely diagnosis and access to quality treatment are central to improving breast cancer outcomes globally.
