Over hundreds of women within the constituecy trooped in to the Essikado hospital on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 to have their breasts checked during the screening exercise which was fully funded by Mr Giovanni Nana Osei Tutu Agyemang.
The screening exercise targeted women within the Essikado/Ketan constituecy and featured an awareness creation exercise, a critical pillar in health promotion and public health at large.
The women who showed up for the screening exercise were examined and none showed symptoms of breast cancer, afterwards, post-test counseling was given to each present.
