As the world marks Pink October, students from GH Schools are stepping up to champion the fight against breast cancer through a series of healthfocused and empowering activities this month.

 

Today on Culture Daily, representatives from GH Schools joined to share details of their Breast Cancer Awareness campaign and how their student community contributes to the national dialogue on women’s health.

 

According to Dr. Chris Aminarh, who is a regular health professional on the show, eight out of ten women are likely to be affected by breast cancer in one way or another. This is a statistic that continues to spark urgency for awareness and education.

 

Hilda Yayra Doe, a lecturer at GH Cosmetology School, noted that with about 80% of GH Schools’ student population being female, October holds deep significance for them.

 

The initiative, led by the Women’s Commission of GH Schools’ SRC, is themed Know Your Body, Protect Your Health. It seeks to educate young women on the importance of early detection, regular screening and self-care. Beyond awareness, the campaign emphasizes active participation.

 

The activities form part of the GH Schools SRC Week Celebration, which officially kicks off on Monday, October 13.

 

The Celebration starts with a Health Talk & Breast Cancer Screening (in collaboration with Midway Hospital), with other activities like movie in the park, Gospel rock show, Entrepreneurship Seminar, DJ Bash and Artiste Night to celebrate the end of the week.

 

The entrepreneurship seminar, part of the GH Ladies Wing initiative, aims to equip young women with the business knowledge needed to transform their vocational skills into sustainable careers.

 

Although the campaign focuses on women’s health, the organizers stressed that the event is open to the general public including male students.

 

The project has received support from 3Music TV, Midway Hospital, and other corporate bodies, with more partners expected to be announced in the coming days.

 

3Music TV is proud to support GH Schools in promoting women’s health and empowerment.

 

As GH Media and its affiliates lead this movement, they continue to remind students and the public alike that knowing your body is the first step to protecting your health.
