'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.
