Elizabeth Naa Borley Borketey holds three-day breast cancer screening in Krowor

Ms. Elizabeth Naa Borley Borketey has concluded a three-day free breast cancer screening initiative in the Krowor Constituency, focusing on early detection and community awareness. The exercise, which ended on October 15, 2026, operated under the theme "Early Action, Better Outcomes" and targeted women within local neighborhoods to address the challenges of healthcare accessibility. By providing these services at no cost, the initiative aimed to identify potential health issues before they progressed to advanced stages.The screening sessions were held in key areas such as Nungua Zongo and Spintex to ensure maximum participation from the local population. In addition to the clinical examinations, the program incorporated educational outreach, teaching participants the importance of regular self-examinations and the specific symptoms associated with breast cancer. The initiative was conducted with the support of members from the Gospel Light International Church, who assisted in coordinating the logistics and outreach efforts throughout the three-day period.Recognizing that detection is only the first step, the program included a robust follow-up plan for participants requiring further medical attention. Women identified as needing additional evaluation will receive support from Ms. Borketey’s team, including assistance with the costs of medical consultations and treatment. This focus on post-screening care is intended to bridge the gap between diagnosis and recovery, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent women from seeking life-saving medical intervention.The conclusion of this exercise emphasizes the critical role of community-based health interventions in improving public health outcomes. By bringing essential services directly to the residents of Nungua and Spintex, the initiative highlights the necessity of making preventive healthcare more accessible to women in urban and peri-urban settlements. Local participants praised the effort, noting that such targeted health programs are vital for fostering a proactive approach to wellness and reducing the burden of breast cancer within the constituency.
