Website upgrade in progress

We're upgrading our website

Help women survive breast cancer.

2,369 Ghanaian women will lose their lives to breast cancer this year. We're on a mission to change that — and while we rebuild our website, you can still support the cause.

About BCI America

Funding the fight against breast cancer in Ghana

Our ultimate goal is to empower women to respond to this disease with hope rather than fear, education rather than misinformation, and treatment rather than denial.

The funds we raise provide women in Ghana with access to breast cancer screening, awareness programs and treatment, backed by cutting-edge research — with outreach programs operating in eight of the country's ten regions.

Our mission

To make breast health education, screening, holistic treatment and support accessible and affordable to all communities in Ghana.

Our vision

Zero deaths from breast cancer in all of Africa.

Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai, MD, PhD

Dr. (Mrs.) Beatrice Wiafe Addai, President of BCI America

President, BCI America

Dr. Wiafe is an internationally recognized and multiple-award-winning breast cancer specialist, working primarily in Ghana and West Africa, where breast cancer incidence rates are disproportionately high and women often do not have access to the care they need. Her medical career has spanned three decades, the last eighteen of which she has devoted exclusively to breast cancer awareness and prevention.

She serves as the Specialist Consultant and Surgeon in breast cancer management at the Peace and Love Hospitals in Accra and Kumasi — a hospital she founded and developed into a robust resource centre for the diagnosis, treatment, counselling, rehabilitation and research of breast cancer and other diseases.

Recognizing that ignorance, stigma and lack of access were more fatal to the women of Ghana than the disease itself, Dr. Wiafe founded Breast Care International — the country's only patient-driven NGO committed to awareness, education, screening, counselling and advocacy on breast cancer, and today Ghana's leading breast cancer charity. As President of BCI America, she brings a lifetime of expertise and a true commitment to raising awareness and funds for this cause internationally.
