MWAG Meetings
Regional and executive meetings have been held. Executives actively plan and execute activities and provide continuous professional development for members.
Medical Outreach
MWAG’s Greater Accra Regional (GAR) branch collaborated with the Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle Constituency, Dr Ezanetor Rawlings, to organise a Health Fest on August 10, 2024. Twenty-five doctors, fifteen nurses, and lab workers attended the event and provided medical services to over 250 people. The services included eye, ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and dental screenings, medical consultations, laboratory tests, hepatitis B screening, and vaccination. The Medical team prescribed and supplied medications as needed.
Breast Cancer in Ghana
The Breast Society of Ghana launched Pinktober 2024 on Friday, September 27, 2024, at the Accra City Hotel under the theme “Stop the Stigma: Be Supportive.” Dr. Ayongo Mate-Kole, the GAR Chairperson, represented MWAG. The event aimed to raise awareness, promote education, celebrate the resilience of breast cancer survivors, and foster community support in the fight against breast cancer. It brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including medical professionals, breast cancer survivors, families and caregivers, advocates and support groups, clergy and spiritual leaders, corporate bodies, and media representatives.
