You are most welcome to the Breast Care International, Ghana (BCI) located in the premise of Peace & Love Hospital, Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, West Africa.

The Breast is an external symbol of beauty and womanhood, but it is unfortunate to note that cancer of the breast is responsible for the deaths of millions of women worldwide. Breast cancer, which is the most common malignancy in women, accounts for 24 percent of all cancer cases. In all parts of the world today, cancer of the breast is a stark reality. For many years people have perceived breast cancer as a frightening disease surrounded by fears and myths.

One of the greatest fears expressed by almost all nearly diagnosed breast cancer patients is “am I going to die?” In fact nowadays, many cancers are treatable when caught at an early stage and treated early. Even if the cancer is not completely curable, modern treatments often mean that the disease can be controlled for years and many patients can live an almost normal life. Most breast cancer patients in Ghana have not survived long enough compared to counterparts in more developed countries who enjoy better survival periods.

In believe that “prevention is better than cure” there has been a widespread enthusiasm for screening populations for illness in its early stage, so that a better outcome can be achieved by more effective intervention.
