Breast cancer awareness: Midwife urges regular self-examination and early detection
A midwife at the Manhyia District Hospital, Hajia Memuna Ezzedin Muntaka, has urged women and girls to make regular breast self-examination a priority to improve early detection and increase the chances of successful treatment of breast cancer.
Midwife Hajia Memuna Ezzedin Muntaka emphasized the importance of regular breast self-examination and early detection of breast cancer during a program at Serwaa Nyarko Girls Senior High School in Kumasi. Early identification of changes in the breast and prompt medical attention are crucial for preventing the disease from becoming life-threatening.
The Founder of MEM Roots of Vitality Foundation encouraged students to prioritize monthly self-examinations, recognize warning signs, and seek professional medical advice when abnormalities arise. She highlighted the students' role as important channels for spreading vital information to their families and communities, urging them to communicate the knowledge gained to their mothers, fathers, and siblings.
Students expressed gratitude for the program, stating that it provided crucial knowledge on breast cancer, including how to identify warning signs and the significance of reporting any unusual changes to a trusted adult or seeking medical attention.
