Female staff of the company after the screening exercise
ADOM City Estate has observed this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness month with a sensitisation campaign and screening programme for its female staff.
This is in line with the vision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Dr Bright Adom, who believes that the welfare of human beings is paramount and the fact that females constitute a greater percentage of the company’s workforce.
In her presentation, a midwife from the Adabraka Polyclinic, Esther Opoku, enumerated the symptoms of breast cancer which included change in the size, shape or contour of the breast; a lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm, among other things.
She also educated the staff on factors that predisposed women to breast cancer among which were: exposure to dangerous chemicals, excessive use of lifestyle body enhancing products, and alcoholism.
She added that women at the age of 50 and above stood a higher risk of getting breast cancer.
Ms Opoku gave hope to all persons living with the condition, saying early detection could save a life.
