Common Wealth Business Women Africa Cameroon Chapter Advances Breast Cancer Awareness in Douala
On October 31, 2024, the Cameroon Chapter of Common Wealth Business Women Africa (CBWA) held a significant breast cancer awareness event in Douala as part of Pink October. The purpose of the gathering was to educate the public, particularly women, on early detection and prevention strategies for breast cancer.
Essential Health Tips by Dr. Ndangue Ntone Nancy
At the event, oncologist Dr. Ndangue Ntone Nancy emphasized the importance of regular self-examinations for early detection, recommending that women perform a self-check at the end of each menstrual cycle. She also advised that women see an oncologist at least once a year for preventative care. These steps, she highlighted, are vital in combating the high risks associated with breast cancer.
Upcoming 2025 Summit for Sustainable Development
This event also served as an opportunity for CBWA to announce their upcoming 2025 summit in Nigeria. Under the theme « Synergies for Sustainable Prosperity: Uniting Trade, Health Innovation, Technological Advancement, and Clean Energy Solutions in Africa », the summit will aim to foster collaboration and drive impactful discussions on Africa’s sustainable growth. This initiative reflects CBWA’s commitment to empowering women in Africa through health advocacy and economic leadership.
CBWA Cameroon continues to play a pivotal role in promoting health, leadership, and development for African women, advancing a prosperous future for communities across the continent.
