October 1, 2025 — Berekum — In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Holy Family Catholic Hospital, Berekum has officially launched its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign under the theme DETECT IT; TREAT IT RIGHT; SURVIVE IT., reinforcing its commitment to promoting early detection, patient education, and comprehensive care for individuals affected by breast cancer.
The campaign commenced with an official launch event held at the hospital chapel, attended by hospital management, specialists, breast cancer survivors, staff and members of the community. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of routine screenings, self-examinations, and timely medical consultations — all of which are critical in improving breast cancer outcomes.
“Early detection saves lives. At Holy Family Catholic Hospital Berekum, we are committed to providing accessible screening services and expert care to support our patients every step of the way,” said hospital administrator, during the opening remarks. “This campaign not only highlights the importance of prevention and early diagnosis, but also celebrates the strength of survivors and the resilience of those currently undergoing treatment.”
Throughout the month of October, the hospital will host a series of educational seminars, free screening, community outreach programs, and patient support events. Informational materials will also be made available to help patients better understand risk factors, screening guidelines, and treatment options.
As a symbolic gesture of solidarity and support, the hospital has been illuminated in pink, and staff are encouraged to wear pink attire throughout the month of October.
Holy Family Catholic Hospital encourages all eligible individuals to schedule their routine breast cancer screenings and to speak with their healthcare providers about personal risk factors.
