Olam Agri Celebrates Pink October With Female Employees

Olam Agri, a global leader in agri-commodity and food processing, in collaboration with GROW (Globally Reaching Olam Women), has climaxed the year’s Pink October celebration with a sensitization program for the company’s female employees at the Aburi Botanical Gardens.

The program, which took place on Friday, October 28, aimed to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer and cervical cancer in Ghana and Africa and also to encourage female employees to check their breasts regularly to help with early detection.

This year’s event featured a series of engaging activities, including an informative health talk with Dr. Kojo Essel and his team from Health Essentials on some diseases affecting the health of most women, and also discussed some preventive measures to help reduce the risk of infection among women.

The program also provided an opportunity to screen about 120 participants for various other diseases and offered an excellent platform for female staff from different divisions of the company to engage, network, and bond amongst themselves.
