In addition, they are effective in adjusting pressure, resisting bacteria, reducing inflammation, reducing odour and removing tiredness.

Mrs Marian A. Tackie, Director at Ministry of Health receiving the items said the Ministry was hosting the conference in partnership with Princess Nikky Foundation on Breast and Cervical Cancer to stop CC in Ghana.

She explained that the conference was to create awareness of CC caused in the womb therefore; women must undergo screening to help them detect the disease early before it caused any damage.
