Check cervical cancer status regularly – Georgina Nettey
Georgina Nettey, Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Gennet Services, organisers of Women In Worship has urged women to test for Human papillomavirus (HPV) to know their cervical cancer status.
She noted that women should at least once in a year walk to any medical facility to do the Human papillomavirus (HPV) test.
“We are all at risk, every woman who is sexually active needs to go for the test to know her status,” she said.
Speaking to The Spectator, the brain behind the event, Mrs. Nettey, said aside the campaign against cervical cancer, the walk which was attended by gospel musicians and people from different sectors of the society was for networking and socialization.
Women in Worship is in its 5th year, and as part of activities leading to the year’s edition, they embarked on a health walk for cervical cancer awareness campaign.
The walk started at the University of Professional Studies campus and ended at the Presbyterian Boys School astro turf.
This was followed with an aerobics session which saw patrons of the event show their agility and stamina on the turf.
This year’s edition is on the theme, “The Grace Experience” which signifies the grace of God for a glorious anniversary slated for Sunday September 19, 2021.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
