Sulu Investment Limited Partners BCSG to Support Breast Cancer Treatment

Sulu Investment Limited, producers of Nero premium water and beverages, has partnered with the Breast Cancer Society of Ghana (BCSG) to support nationwide breast cancer awareness, early detection, and patient care, as part of efforts to reduce breast cancer-related deaths in the country.

The partnership was announced at a stakeholder engagement event in Accra on Friday, aimed at improving breast health outcomes for women.

Under the collaboration, a portion of proceeds from every bottle of Nero Water and Nero Beverages sold will be dedicated to funding breast cancer treatment and sustaining ongoing public education campaigns, with a particular focus on women.

The partnership was formalised with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Managing Director of Sulu Investments Limited, Mr. Manab Pattnaik, and the President of the Breast Cancer Society of Ghana, Dr. Josephine Nsaful, at BCSG’s office.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Pattnaik said the company’s support was driven by its commitment to corporate social responsibility and community wellbeing. He disclosed that Ghana records about 4,500 new breast cancer cases annually, with 60 to 70 per cent detected at advanced stages, making treatment difficult and costly.

According to him, investing in women’s health was an investment in the nation’s social and economic future, noting that nearly 60 per cent of the company’s workforce are women.

For her part, Dr. Josephine Nsaful of the Breast Cancer Society of Ghana welcomed the partnership, describing it as timely and critical. She noted that many breast cancer patients in Ghana abandon treatment due to financial challenges, leading to disease recurrence and preventable deaths.

Dr. Nsaful emphasised that early detection remains the most effective way to reduce mortality, adding that breast cancer can be treated and cured when diagnosed early. She said the partnership would strengthen awareness creation, community outreach, and financial support for patients.

Adding a personal perspective, Ms. Georgina Kuma-Dzagah of the Society described the initiative as a lifeline for many women. She recounted the emotional and financial toll of breast cancer, stating that many young and strong women lose their lives simply because they cannot afford care in time.

“This partnership is a reminder that when passion meets purpose, action becomes possible,” she said, expressing gratitude to Sulu Investment Limited and the media for helping to amplify the message nationwide.
