'Breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer , sucking does not.' – Dr. Wisdom Effiong

On Doctor in the House with Chris Kata, the Bank Hospital medical officer clarified a common misconception, noting that breastfeeding is scientifically linked to lowering breast cancer.

I’m always encouraged to see more organizations investing in staff wellness and preventive health. Together, we can build a culture where early screening and open conversations about breast health become the norm.

Dr. Wisdom Effiong of the Bank Hospital in Accra has described hypertension as a silent killer. He attributes this to the fact that the condition shows no symptoms until complications set in.

He was speaking on Dominion TV's flagship morning show, Wake Up Africa on 7th January, 2025. According to the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) in 2014, hypertension has a prevalence of 13% amongst adults with 40.5% on treatment and only 23.8% of hypertension under control.
