“Cancer is not friendly, let none sit on the fence in fighting it” – Agivert Jackson
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter



United States based cancer-related non-profit organization, Unlimited Cancer care International, UCCI, took its campaign against cancers a notch higher, when it led a massive cancer screening exercise in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.


The exercise which was put together by Ghanaian-based entity, LYB Legacy Limited, was in partnership with The Manyeyo Foundation and another US-based non-profit organization, M&B Foundation, attracted over three hundred people who took opportunity of the event to get screened for all forms of cancers and cancer-related cases.


Supported by the McDan Group, the people of Akplabanya, a deprived community in Ada poured out in their numbers to get screened.


The President and Founder of Unlimited Cancer Care International, Ms. Agivert Jackson, indicated that, “the drive, and the mission for her organization’s commitment to the cancer fight through education, sensitization and screenings, are borne out of her passion for, at least, helping minimize the spread of this disease”
“Cancer is not friendly. It is not anything one would wish for anyone. In fact, it is not funny to underestimate the scotching and excruciating effects of this disease”, Ms. Jackson underscored.


Emphasizing that, “It is the more reason why, given the opportunity, none must sit on the fence in this campaign to root out cancers of any form” “It’s a clarion call which requires all to put their hands on deck to help arrest this scary disease” she said.


According to Ms. Jackson, UCCI is massively committed to leaving no stone unturned in what she called, “Massive campaigns against Cancers of all forms”.


She indicated that, UCCI and its partners, both in the United States and in Ghana, are bent on going the extra expensive mile to contributing their quota towards a world free of cancers.


“It looks like a dream. A seeming insolvent mission, but with focus, determination, and devotion, it is possible to deal with the spread of cancers” She added.


Ms. Jackson explained that, at UCCI, the strategy is one of preventive measures rather than curative measures at dealing with cancers.


“It is important to educate, sensitize and spread the message of self-checking for signs and symptoms of any forms of cancers, rather than waiting to treat after one is diagnosed”, She added.


Ms. Jackson pointed out that, UCCI has positioned itself to enable it to solicit and provide the needed access to core screening opportunities as a means of helping in the fight.


“Tother with our partners, we have secured some medical supplies to be donated to some selected Oncology departments in some hospitals in Ghana to help them in address cancer cases”. She revealed.
“Even before that, I want to entreat all of us gathered here today, to take advantage of this forum and many others that would come in the near future to check for any symptoms of cancers to avoid contracting it”. She charged.


She expressed profound gratitude to the chiefs, queen mothers and the people of the area for their support in what she called, “overwhelmingly successful medical campaign in the community”.
Ms. Jackson expressed appreciation to the McDan Group for extending a helping hand to make this exercise possible.


“With the support from McDan Group and other partners and sponsors, we are convinced that our frantic efforts and mission statement, “Fighting cancers: One win at a time” would see the light of day.
The Founder of the M&B Foundation, Dr. Zakiyyah Backman was excited for the success of the event it.


“We at the M&B Foundation are excited that we came all the way from the United Sates to join Unlimited Cancer Care International for this project”. Dr. Backman said


Adding that, “We have no regrets at all, for this partnership. In fact, we are committed to supporting UCCI in such important campaigns as we seek to help better the lot of people diagnosed with cancers”.

Dr. Backman who came with two other African Americans for the projects, stressed that, “Projects akin to these, mean the world to us at the M&B Foundation for which we are always glad to be a part of.


She commended UCCI for what she called, “massive step” in the campaigns against cancers.


The Founder of Manyeyo Foundation, Naana Adiki Manyeyo Adi I, expressed her foundations resolve towards helping address the needs of deprived communities in the area.


A queen mother in the area, she indicated that her foundation would always jump at any opportunity at fighting against cancers of all forms.


“Early detection is a very important step at addressing the rise in cancer cases and this effort by Unlimited cancer care International is one we all love to support and to champion.


As part of the activities to carry the campaign to other parts of the country, Unlimited Cancer Care International through “The Condi Project” would donate hundreds of cancer-branded exercise books, Mathematical sets, backpacks among other educational materials to selected educational institutions across Ghana.


“The Condi Projects” campaign, led by a pupil of the Bill Hefner Elementary School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, who is also a leader of the school’s Beta Club, Diamond Condoleezza Awenteba Bukarson would take the project to schools in Ada, Sandema in the Upper East Region and many other educations institutions in Ghana.
