CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS
January has been declared Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a global initiative aimed at educating the public on the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cervical cancer. Central to this effort is raising awareness about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer, and promoting regular screening and timely vaccination.
In support of this initiative, our team has launched a comprehensive awareness campaign focused on empowering women with accurate information and encouraging proactive health choices. The campaign emphasizes the importance of HPV vaccination, routine cervical cancer screening, and early medical consultation, all of which play a critical role in reducing cervical cancer-related illness and deaths.
Through community outreach, educational activities, and advocacy, the campaign seeks to inspire women to take an active role in safeguarding their health. Cervical cancer is largely preventable, and with increased awareness and access to preventive services, early detection and treatment can save lives.
Health advocates continue to call on communities, healthcare providers, and stakeholders to support efforts that promote screening and vaccination, reinforcing the message that prevention is both possible and essential.

The family of Ernest Boakye-Yiadom has made a generous donation to support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The donation comes after the family accessed care for their newly born child in the facility.
Mr. Ernest Boakye-Yiadom, on behalf of his wife and children, donated quantities of student-size mattresses, water kettles, three nebulizers, diapers, and wipes to the NICU. According to Mr. Boakye-Yiadom, their newly born baby was referred to the NICU for specialized care shortly after birth.
Sharing their motivation, he explained that during their stay at the unit, the family observed the experiences of other mothers and the demanding work of healthcare staff. “We saw the experiences of mothers during our stay, so we felt we could support the facility in our little way,” he said.
Mr. Boakye-Yiadom and his family used the opportunity to encourage individuals and organizations to support the NICU, emphasizing that even small contributions can make a meaningful difference. “The little support will help the healthcare providers to deliver more,” he added.
