Men have been advised not to abandon their partners when they are diagnosed with breast cancer.
According to a Breast Surgeon, women are most affected by this disease and need love and attention, but they are rather rejected.
Dr Beatrice Wiafe Addai gave this advice a Health Talk organised by the Peace and Love Hospital in collaboration with Provident Insurance Company at Accra at the Accra College of Education Demonstration School on Thursday.
“I have survivors of breast cancer whose husbands neglected or abandoned them, thinking they will die but they are still alive and looking beautiful” she said .
The event themed “Breast Cancer Wont Rest So Why Should We” was to create awareness on the disease and how it can be cured.
She explained that family members must also show love to breast cancer survivors and encourage them in these difficult times because their presence could make them live longer even after recovery.
Dr Wiafe Addai stated that World Health Organisation (WHO) Report showed that cancer was killing more women than Malaria and HIV and stressed the need for women to be enlightened.
She added that self-examination and early detection would help save the situation in time, and cautioned against stigmatization.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Provident Insurance Company, Mr Michael Justice Ashongalso stated that as part of the company to give back to society, they collaborated with Peace and Love Hospital for this worthy course.
“Provident Insurance is 40 years this month and we want to use this opportunity for women to go for free screening which is sponsored by the company. Let all continue to educate women against this deadly disease in Ghana and Globally.I am proud to be part of this exercise as we cover the entire cost“he empasised.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
