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.

GHANAIAN gospel heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has released a spirit-filled song titled “Sunsum Ndwom.”
The song, which is already making waves shortly after its release, is delivered in three parts, each carrying a powerful message.
The first part reflects on the mystery of Prophet Elijah, where people wondered who he was after he prayed and called down fire from heaven.
The second part centres on salvation, urging believers not to celebrate only power and miracles, but to celebrate the fact that their names are written in the Book of Life, because that is what lasts forever.
The third part celebrates the beauty of God’s healing power, a song originally composed by her late mother.
The gospel star is urging Ghanaians to stream the song on all platforms and encounter its powerful lyrics.
She also stressed the need to preserve Ghana’s traditional gospel sound, expressing hope that the new generation will embrace their heritage.
Empress Gifty further expressed appreciation to all stakeholders in the industry who have supported her career over the years.

GHANAIAN media personality, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, affectionately called Akumaa, has marked the 18th anniversary of her Mama Zimbi Foundation (MZF).
The event was held at the Broken Yoke Ministry International at Klagon in Accra.
Thousands of widows who benefited were taken through health education for good living, business enhancement, women empowerment and legal education, among others.
In addition, they were given water, cloth, rice, noodles, oil, Noko Fine Washing Powder and other toiletries.
Mrs Dongotey-Padi noted that there is land earmarked for vocational training and gari processing for those who are unemployed and would want to make ends meet.
Against that backdrop, she expressed appreciation to gospel musician Empress Gifty for supporting her with her Noko Fine Washing Powder and Verna Mineral Water.
According to her, it went a long way to put smiles on the faces of the widows.
Akumaa Mama Zimbi further said that if she looks back on how the journey started 18 years ago, she feels fulfilled in impacting thousands of lives.
According to her, this motivates her to do even more to put smiles on the faces of people.
The Mama Zimbi Foundation is an NGO committed to motivating, empowering and supporting widows and their children, as well as educating adolescents on their sexual and reproductive health.
