"The key to a healthy body is a Good Head"

Despite the rich health care resources and availability of cancer screening, unfortunately, ethnic African women are disproportionately represented within the public health promotion programs.

There are significantly low utilization rates of screening services for ethnic Africans compared to other minority. Significant Language and cultural barriers exist concerning navigating around the health care system where follow up is required; and there is a huge unmet need for breast care awareness and care coordination services among ethnic African women where there is a lack of culturally tailored programs.
