BCI for the intense countrywide awareness creation programs against the
disease.
Commenting on the humanitarian gesture, President of Breast Care
International, and CEO of Peace and Love Hospitals, Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai,
said Airtel’s assistance was commendable, especially when the act was at the
instance of the workers themselves, adding that it demonstrates the readiness
and willingness of corporate Ghana to safeguard the health of women.

disease is no respecter of persons, hence the need to collectively create
