Waterloo/55 Banger Farm Community, Sierra Leone, july 03, 2024

July 2024, Waterloo/55 Banger Farm Community, Sierra Leone: The “One Community per Month Breast Cancer Screening Campaign” by Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) in partnership with Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation (TPBCF). This dream of mine could be only implemented because of the leadership of Mrs. Cremelda Parkinson Pratt and the great team of Thinking Pink. Waterloo is a city in the Western Area of Sierra Leone and the capital of the Western Area Rural District, which is one of the sixteen districts of Sierra Leone, located about twenty miles east of Freetown.

On the event day, July 3rd, we faced intermittent downpours throughout the afternoon, being the rainy season, due to which we had fewer participants, with a total of 26 who were sensitized with Breast Cancer awareness and also screened with no Abnormalities detected. We took the opportunity to introduce the research questionnaire by Breast Cancer Hub in partnership with TPBCF, the purpose of the research is to understand the base of knowledge of the community.

The screening camp was executed with funds from Breast Cancer Hub.

We feel blessed to be able to serve the people of  Sierra Leone.
With gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy (Founder-President, BCH)
