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 musician Ezecheal Kwasi Asimeng Frimpong, popularly known as Ancienth has released a new Palmwine single titled ‘Asukese Abena’.
The song is a celebration of love, culture, and the timeless wisdom embedded in Ghana’s traditional way of life.
According to him, the project is meant to remind people that Palmwine music is not a relic of the past.
“Through this project, I want people to understand that Palmwine music is not a relic of the past, it is a living heritage that still speaks powerfully to the present,” he said.
Ancienth traces his journey in Palmwine music to the pioneering work of Kwame Asare, also known as Jacob Sam, and the Kumasi Trio. He credits them with laying the foundation for one of Ghana’s most important musical traditions, a path that later generations continue to walk.
“I entered this space because I believe every nation must protect its cultural voice,” Ancienth explained, adding that “Palmwine music carries our stories, values, humour, history, and identity. Preserving it is not only a musical responsibility but also a cultural one.”
The musician described the journey as rewarding but challenging, noting that traditional music often receives less attention and investment compared to mainstream genres.
To strengthen the space, he is calling for greater support from the media, cultural institutions, educational bodies, and the public.
“My appeal to Ghanaians is simple, support indigenous music, because when a people lose their cultural sound, they gradually lose part of their identity,” he added.
As a torchbearer of Palmwine Music, Ancienth says his mission is to honour the legacy of the pioneers while introducing Palmwine music to new generations and audiences across the world.
Asukese Abena is now available on all digital platforms, including YouTube

It added that through her determination to dream big and push boundaries, she inspired countless young people to believe that passion, perseverance and hard work could make the impossible possible.
