Addressing the participants, who numbered over five hundred, including their customers and the general public, the Area Manager for ASA Mr. Francis Agyabeng, said it was important to integrate the women into the campaign against breast cancer because in his words, “they are vulnerable .”

The event, in character, was preceded with a lecture by Rev.Dr. Antwi Boasiako, the CEO for Christ Soteria Clinic Limited, Kronom, in the Suame Municipal also in the Ashanti region.

He touched on the signs, symptoms, risk factors, methods of investigation and finally, the available treatment options for breast cancer patients.
