In a powerful demonstration of leadership and compassion, the reigning Face of Narh-Bita 2025, Queen Leticia Esinam Ankorah, has extended her humanitarian efforts to the health sector by spearheading a breast cancer education and screening exercise for women in the Tema Manhean community.
The event, held on October 23, 2025, at the Adjetey Ansah CHPS Compound, was organized by DIL Healthcare and Medical Consultancy in partnership with Queen Leticia. It aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, while empowering women with vital knowledge on nutrition, lifestyle, and hygiene.

Promoting Health Through Compassion and Education
The program, which started at 7:00 AM, saw an impressive turnout as 40 women aged between 15 and 70 received free screenings and counseling from medical professionals.
Queen Leticia, who also served as Project Lead, emphasized the importance of continuous community education, noting that early detection saves lives.
“As women, we must prioritize our health. Breast cancer is curable when detected early, and education is our strongest weapon. I’m grateful to our partners and sponsors for helping make this vision a reality,” — Queen Leticia Esinam Ankorah said.
Screening Results and Referrals
Out of the 40 women screened:
-
Two women presented with nipple discharges
-
One woman was found with a palpable breast lump
All three were immediately referred to the Tema General Hospital for further examination and management. These findings highlighted the critical importance of community-based screening programs in detecting early signs of breast cancer.
