discuss the outcomes.
The aim is to help understand the disease dynamics in Ghana and know how to reduce the incidence of mortality of breast cancer effectively.
Mr Charles Fordjour Agyemang, Council Chair of the Breast Society of Ghana, said Ghana remained behind the developed world in access to newer technologies and innovative therapies.
He said it was the responsibility of generations and bodies like the BSOG to close the gaps.
“This means we have to evolve BSOG into an association that will be the only umbrella body that hosts all critical stakeholders needed in creating these solutions.
“It will extend radiotherapy and its free access beyond Accra and Kumasi, diagnostics, and innovative therapies under NHIS, and strong survivor groups to advocate and motivate patients,” he added.
Mr Agyeman urged the media to destigmatise breast cancer.
The meeting saw scientific presentations on breast cancer, breast cancer management, and engagement with survivors, among others.
