Members of the Feminine Hall of Fame, a group of Ghanaian women who have distinguished themselves in their various fields of work, have donated to Peace and Love Hospital towards the treatment for two Breast Cancer Patients.

The group led by its President, Gifty Anti on Thursday presented an undisclosed amount of money to the CEO of Peace and Love Hospital, Dr Beatrice Wiafe-Addai, who is also the Founder of Breast Care International, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to support the patients in their treatment.

The Feminine Hall of Fame of over 50 members from various business and professional backgrounds across the country were inducted by The Business Executive Magazine as an advocacy team to serve as mentors for upcoming young females in society.

President of the Feminine Hall of Fame, Gifty Anti who led the team, expressed concern that while breast cancer is believed to be the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in Ghana, not much is being done about it.

According to her, the donation is to help the Breast Care International as well as the Peace and Love Hospital to provide treatment and awareness campaigns across the country. She also expressed the team’s commitment to consistently advocating and provide support for women's health.

Gifty Anti was hopeful that the breast cancer awareness campaign would present an opportunity for women to get educated and screened.

She said, as a women’s group, The Feminine Hall of Fame values and supports the need for regular screening and also understands that early detection and treatment of breast cancer is critical for survival.

She used the opportunity to encourage members of the Feminine Hall of Fame and women in Ghana to have regular breast screenings and observe healthy lifestyles to decrease their chances of breast cancer.

CEO of the Peace & Love Hospital Dr Beatrice Wiafe-Addai thanked The Feminine Hall of Fame group for their support and called on Ghanaians especially men to offer to support their wife’s to regularly check their breast and as well support the awareness campaign.

She further urged Ghanaians to stop discriminating and stigmatising patients and survivors of breast cancer, as the disease knows no discrimination.

Dr Beatrice Wiafe-Addai also promised to use the money for the intended purpose.
