The Zongo Health Campaign, led by broadcast journalist Hawawu Abdul Karim Young Pioneer, identified three women with breast lumps and three HIV-positive individuals during a health screening event in Mamobi, Accra. The initiative, which took place on October 10, 2026, at Tuwon Zara 2, aimed to promote early detection and improve access to health information for women in Zongo communities.

Medical personnel advised participants with breast lumps to seek further assessment, while the campaign's founder emphasized the importance of taking breast cancer and general health seriously. The event was organized in response to a TikTok video by midwife Samira Atcha Affo, who highlighted the need for greater involvement of religious leaders and influencers in breast cancer awareness.

The campaign received support from Alhaji Ahmed Iddris Abubakar Sarki Jordan, Accra Newtown Islamic Hospital, and various media partners. The founder's goal is to make breast cancer awareness a continuous conversation in Zongo communities, driven by the mission to save lives through awareness and early detection.
