Frank Annoh-Dompreh screens hundreds for breast cancer in Nsawam-Adoagyiri

The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has collaborated with the non-governmental organization Partners for Patients to provide free breast cancer screening for hundreds of constituents. The health initiative, which spanned three days from October 26 to October 28, 2026, was launched to address the need for early detection and to bring essential preventive healthcare services directly to the people. By offering these services at no cost, the program sought to eliminate financial barriers that often prevent residents from seeking regular medical check-ups.

The screening exercise saw a significant turnout, with participation levels increasing each day as news of the event spread through the constituency. Medical professionals were stationed at various points to conduct physical examinations and provide one-on-one consultations. Beyond the clinical screenings, the initiative prioritized public education, with experts teaching attendees about the warning signs of breast cancer and the importance of regular self-examinations. The program’s reach was further extended by targeting local schools and community organizations to ensure that young people and organized groups also benefited from the awareness campaign.

Residents of Nsawam-Adoagyiri expressed their gratitude for the intervention, noting that the proximity of the screening centers made it easier for them to prioritize their health. Many participants highlighted that such local initiatives are crucial for those who might otherwise struggle to travel to major hospitals for specialized care. Frank Annoh-Dompreh’s office indicated that this exercise forms part of a continuous effort to improve the health outcomes of the constituency. By focusing on early detection and community-wide education, the initiative aims to reduce the impact of breast cancer and promote a more proactive approach to personal health management within the district.
