Zurak Cancer Foundation Surveys Agbobloshie Market


Our cervical cancer team visited the Agbobloshie Market to conduct a survey for our upcoming market invasion. This will enable to the team to develop a strategy for our market invasion initiative. The market invasion initiative is a cervical cancer awareness program to provide cervical cancer education and screening to market women. This initiative is expected to encourage the market women to pay attention to their health especially the human papillomavirus; the causative virus for cervical cancer.

According to Wikipedia, the local economy of Agbogbloshie is based on an onion market serving immigrants to Accra from the greater Tamale Region (Dagbani) in the north. Unemployed immigrants turned to scrap metal collection, including auto scrap, to supplement incomes. The population of Agbogbloshie consists of economic migrants from northern and rural parts of Ghana, where living standards are growing worse, causing people to move to urban settings, such as Agbogbloshie. Conditions may not be significantly better, but making a living is easier.Inhabitants of Agbogbloshie live, eat, work and relieve themselves on the land and among the waste. Children who are able to attend school often spend every evening and weekend processing waste searching for metals.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
