They usually check passports at the borders. On Friday, they were checking breasts in Wa.
Immilac President Prospera Soliku recounted her personal losses as she led a breast cancer awareness campaign in Wa. Female officers from the Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana Police Service, and Ghana Prisons Service, dressed in their uniforms and pink ribbons, paraded through the streets of Wa, marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Soliku, who has championed the welfare and health of female officers, disclosed that she had lost both her aunt, who cut her wedding cake, and a close friend and her sister to breast cancer. The campaign, themed "Every Story Is Unique, Every Journey Matters," aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention and early detection.
Health Promotion Officer Leticia Yuorkuu educated participants about the causes, risk factors, and prevention of breast cancer, while Dr Adam Mansura dispelled misconceptions about symptoms and treatment.
