Challenges and Recommendation
• Lack of funding
• Ignorance of the disease and of awareness resulted in
the low turn up
• lack of decentralization of the screening exercise limited
the number of women.
Recommendation
 Seek donor agency to support the awareness and breast
screening in various villages.
 Seeking funding to organise the oncology training for the
midwives in the municipality hence more qualified nurse
could provide such service to women leaving outside
Assin Fosu.
