Rabito Clinic screens NTC staff for breast cancer

A team of medical professionals from the East Legon branch of Rabito Clinic on Tuesday conducted a breast cancer screening for both male and female staff of the New Times Corporation (NTC), publishers of the Ghanaian Times and The Spectator newspapers.

The event provided valuable insights on breast health and the importance of self-examination in the fight against the cancer. The event was to commemorate the annual breast cancer month observation held in October.

The screening followed a health talk by Mr Samuel Agyekum, the Occupational Health Manager at Rabito Clinic.

During the session, Mr Agyekum demonstrated the ‘look and feel’ method, a simple yet effective technique for detecting abnormalities in the breast, showing staff how to visually inspect the breast for changes in shape, size, and skin colour, and how to manually check for lumps or unusual feelings.

“No one is too young or too old to care,” he said, challenging myths and encouraging staff to take charge of their health. His message was simple but urgent, “don’t wait for symptoms, check to prevent them.”

The initiative reflects the corporation’s commitment to promoting the health and well-being of its employees. By providing access to free breast screening and education, the NTC is empowering its staff to take charge of their health and make informed decisions about their well-being.
