MIIF ends Breast Cancer Awareness Month with webinar

The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) concluded its Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities with a symbolic ceremony at its head office on Friday, October 31, 2025. The event marked the culmination of a month-long campaign aimed at deepening awareness about breast cancer and promoting regular screening among staff.

The ceremony symbolized the Fund’s commitment to fostering conversations around women’s health in the workplace.

Speaking at the gathering, Chief Executive Officer of MIIF, Mrs Justina Nelson, emphasized the critical importance of vigilance and early detection.

“What you don’t know can hurt you,” she said, urging all staff to prioritize regular self-examinations and medical check-ups.

Throughout October, MIIF implemented several initiatives to engage and educate staff on breast cancer awareness.

These included the distribution of educational materials highlighting key facts and preventive measures, as well as a special message from the Head of Human Resources and Administration, Ms Rosetta Asmah, emphasizing the importance of early detection and support for those affected.

The centerpiece of the campaign was an informative webinar conducted in partnership with The Bank Hospital and led by Dr. Wisdom Effiong, who provided expert insights on breast cancer symptoms, treatment options, and lifestyle practices that can reduce risk.

The initiative reflects MIIF’s broader commitment to employee well-being and corporate social responsibility, underscoring the Fund’s belief that a healthy workforce is essential for sustainable national development.
