The Founder of Breast Love Foundation, a local non-governmental organisation has admonished individuals not to associate the cause of breast cancer with witchcraft and apply anointing oil on their breasts to cure the disease.
Madam Juliet Gyamfi, a Prosthetic Nurse and Breast Cancer advocate told The Spectator during an interview that cancer was a very serious condition illness with devastating outcomes on the patient.
She emphasised that, breast cancer should on no grounds be associated with superstition because the medical condition according to the World Health Organisation was likely to be found in one out of eight women, so early detection was always the key to treatment.
Madam Gyamfi advised Ghanaians to stop stigmatising and attributing spiritual issues to breast cancer patients and its survivors.
According to her women must be very attentive to any changes that occurred on any part of their body and report to a Physician as soon as possible in order to facilitate early treatment.
This, she said, would help in early diagnosis to be able to prevent any delay that has the tendency of causing more harm to the condition because early detection of a medical condition always saved life.
Touching on some lifestyle practices, she asked women to refrain from activities and habits that would affect their health and well-being and these she said were alcohol intake, smoking, not wearing the correct bra sizes, unhealthy eating habits among others.
She encouraged women to regularly check if they may find any lumps in their breasts and report the issue to a medical doctor for immediate treatment.
Madam Gyamfi who has been advocating on breast cancer prevention for five years under the “Breast Love Foundation” project, told diagnosed patients not to spend time in the church by applying anointing oil to treat breast cancer, instead they should undergo the needed treatment process prescribed by the doctor.

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
