Stonebwoy organises free breast cancer screening at Ashaiman
A section of the beneficiaries
Hundreds of women within the Ashaiman Municipality were beneficiaries of The Livingstone Foundation’s (TLF) free breast cancer screening on Sunday, October 29, 2022 at the Divine Healers Church, Ashaiman.
The free breast cancer awareness screening programme, sponsored by multiple award winning musician, Stonebwoy, in partnership with Core Care Ghana was one of the activities climaxing the month long breast cancer awareness campaign, which is observed in October every year.
It was held in response to a 2020 World Health Organisation report, which concluded that over 685,000 out of 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer died.
The exercise screened eligible women ranging from 20 to 68 years. The women were taught how to perform breast self-examinations, which are critical in the early detection of breast cancer and other breast-related diseases.
According to Ms. Valerie Kportufe, Head of The Livingstone Foundation, the goal of this programme was to increase public “brand awareness” of breast cancer, its detection, treatment, and the need for a reliable, permanent cure, as well as to ramp up awareness campaigns to prevent people from becoming victims of breast cancer.
Beneficiaries of the program who spoke to the media thanked The Livingstone Foundation and Core Care Ghana for their timely intervention.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
