In a powerful call to action, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse, has urged Ghanaians to join forces to combat prostate cancer and prostatitis, two pressing public health issues that affect countless men in the country.
Speaking at a press conference held today at the Ga Traditional Council, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II emphasized the need for collective responsibility and national awakening to address the silent threats to men’s health. The campaign, themed “Men United Against Prostate Cancer and Prostatitis,” aims to raise awareness, promote early screening, and demand better access to treatment across all regions of Ghana.
According to the Ga Mantse, too many men in Ghana are suffering in silence, unaware or afraid to speak about their prostate health due to myths, stigma, and lack of accessible healthcare. He stressed that the time has come for Ghanaians to speak boldly and act decisively to change this narrative.
King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, who has accepted to lead and support the campaign alongside The Cancer Project Foundation Ghana and other stakeholders, called on traditional leaders, political authorities, medical professionals, civil society, and the media to join hands in this noble cause.
The campaign will be officially launched on July 2, 2025, but the Ga Mantse emphasized that the press conference marks the beginning of a united front against prostate-related diseases. He urged Ghanaians to unite, educate, and advocate until no man suffers or dies needlessly from these diseases.
The Ga Mantse’s call to action has been welcomed by stakeholders, who are eager to join forces to combat prostate cancer and prostatitis. As the campaign gains momentum, Ghanaians are encouraged to support this noble cause and make a difference in the lives of men affected by these diseases.
