On Saturday, October 29, 2022, the management and employees of the Krobo District of the Electricity Company of Ghana participated in a health walk as part of events commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The electricity distribution company’s Power Queens Club is in charge of the month-long awareness campaign. All of the organization’s female employees are a part of the Club.
The entire world has designated October 2022 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Numerous initiatives are planned to raise awareness of the illness. Some people decide on different themes to honor the occasion. For many organizations, encouraging both men and women to be screened continues to be a top awareness issue.
The Power Queens Club in ECG has been leading the month-long breast cancer awareness campaign. Numerous programs were conducted with possibilities for screening across the organization’s numerous operational districts.
This month-long awareness campaign has included the ECG’s Krobo District. The District’s management and employees culminated the event by climbing Krobo’s Acineci Mountain.
Along with employees from other operating divisions and support staff that assist with daily operations in the District, they carried out this task.
Acting Krobo District Manager, Ing. Christopher Apawu, stated that they had taken the promotion of breast cancer awareness very seriously and had been enticing all workers to undergo screenings.
As early discovery of breast cancer has been found to aid in simpler care, “we also advise them to encourage their families and friends to get screened.”
Additionally, he said that “medical diagnostic has proven that men are also at risk of the disease, thus all staff were involved in the various activities and encouraged to participate in the screening processes.”
The District’s Power Queens Club Executives have been actively involved in the month-long activities. They expressed gratitude to the district management for providing an environment that allowed them to continue the awareness campaign.
