Asamoakrum (C)R), Nov.12, GNA- A Midwife at Twifo-Atti- Morkwa District Government Hospital, Mrs Joycelyn Arthur has urged the public and prayer camps not to consider breast cancer as spiritual disease.
She was speaking during a breast cancer screening organised by Nana Oboaman Appenteng Asamoah II, Sanaahene of Atti Morkwa Traditional Area for women in the Area.
According to her, research had shown that the disease could not be cured with herbal medicines and when one was diagnosed, one must follow medical instructions rather than moving to prayer camps.
Nana Appeteng Asamoah, who is also the Chief of Twifo Asamoakrom, urged his fellow chiefs to collaborate with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives to promote development in their respective communities.
He stressed that chiefs should support local government authorities in addressing the developmental needs of their communities rather than putting unnecessary financial pressure on the government.
This was because other essential needs such as schools, roads, potable water and basic amenities required urgent government attention.
