"Let's increase breast cancer advocacy efforts" - Rachel Appoh

The former Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Rachel Appoh, is urging more collective action towards breast cancer awareness.

The former MP, who is also a former Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, is using her birthday, which falls today, to advocate for bigger societal collaboration to grow the knowledge of the populace about breast cancer.

“Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I am reminded of the priceless gift of life and good health. This year, my celebration coincides with the global observation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a cause that is very close to my heart,” she said in a statement.

Appoh also observed that, sadly, the thousands of breast cancer cases recorded across the country are detected too late.

“This phenomenon leads to many preventable deaths. Yet, with early detection, awareness, and timely medical care, breast cancer can be defeated,” the former lawmaker added. On this special day, I dedicate my celebration to raising awareness and urging action. I encourage every woman to practice regular self-examinations, go for screening, and seek prompt medical attention when necessary.

She is also urging families and communities to show compassion and support to survivors and those currently battling the disease.

“I call on the government, civil society, the media, and all stakeholders to intensify education and expand access to affordable healthcare.”
“Together, we can save lives and protect the future of countless women.”

“May this Breast Cancer Awareness Month remind us all that every woman matters, every life matters, and united, we can overcome breast cancer.”

Rachel Appoh also commended the Ghana Health Service (GHS) for its ongoing vaccination campaign on Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer.

The exercise, expected to take place between October 7 and 11, 2025, would see the vaccination of 2.4 million adolescent girls (9 to 14 years) across the country, significantly boosting Ghana’s efforts toward the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer.

“As the second most frequent cancer among women in Ghana, I humbly urge all adolescent girls to avail themselves of the vaccine because it is safe, effective, and has been extensively pre-qualified by the WHO,” she said.
