1. Breast Cancer Education:

The apparent low level of breast cancer awareness coupled with false beliefs and attitudes about the disease and how it can be treated informed the urgent need to intensify efforts in public education. The on-going activities include lectures and workshops for the general public and special groups such as market women, grassroots women at the local government areas, neigbourhood women groups, and girls in secondary and tertiary institutions.

2. Patient Support:

2.1. Counselling session for individual or group is available at BRECAN centre.
2.2. Hope Lodge @ BRECAN Centre: A “home away from home” for breast cancer out-patients with their families travelling to the University College Hospital (UCH) for treatment/check-up.

3. Breast Cancer Survivors Network:
