Ghanaian philanthropist and legal practitioner Amma Frimpomaa has organized a breast cancer awareness walk and health screening event for the residents of Odumase and surrounding communities in the Sunyani West Constituency.
The event, held at Odumase Lorry Park, garnered the presence of traditional leaders, indigenes, students, and various groups.
According to Amma Frimpong, this initiative forms part of her efforts to raise awareness about the risks associated with breast cancer.
In her address to the gathered participants, Amma Frimpong highlighted the increasing prevalence of breast cancer, which has become very deadly.
She emphasized the importance of educating people about its symptoms and the significance of early detection to facilitate preventive measures and improve survival rates.
Amma Frimpong assured the people that her commitment extends beyond her hometown and that she will persistently seek support from corporate entities for the constituency as long as she lives.
She also expressed gratitude to the Volta River Authority (VRA), Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG), and Tropical Cables for their support in making the program a resounding success.
Nana Yaa Adanse Poduo II, the Omanhemaa of Odumase No. 1 Traditional Area, commended Amma Frimpong for her valuable contributions to Odumase and the wider constituency.
She encouraged both parents and the youth in attendance to prioritize their education, with the hope that more Odumase natives would follow Amma Frimpong’s inspiring example through educational attainment.
