Delta Air Lines and Breast Care International (BCI) have marked 10 years of partnership at the 2026 BCI Walk for the Cure held in Mampong, Ashanti Region.
The event, held under the theme “Our Walk, Our Fight, Our Future,” brought together breast cancer survivors, healthcare professionals, community leaders, partners and thousands of participants.
The milestone reflects a decade-long commitment by both organisations to expand breast cancer awareness, education and early detection across Ghana.
Over the past 10 years, the partnership has reached more than 166,000 people with breast cancer education, screened over 22,500 people and identified nearly 2,100 suspected cases. Targeted rural screening initiatives have also reached more than 70,100 women.
For Delta, the anniversary is both a celebration of impact and a reaffirmation of the work ahead.
“It is an honour to be part of this year’s BCI Walk for the Cure, and to see so many people come together in support of this important cause,” said Sarah Annan, Operations Service Manager, Delta Air Lines.
“Seeing thousands of Ghanaians, alongside survivors, healthcare professionals, partners and community leaders, come together with such energy is a powerful reminder that this is a cause that belongs to all of us. As Delta celebrates 10 years of partnership with BCI, we are proud of the journey and the impact we have made together – we also recognise that this anniversary is not a finish line. It is an opportunity to build on what we have achieved and remain committed to advancing this important work,” she added.
Hosting this year’s walk in Mampong underscores the commitment to take awareness and screening beyond major urban centres to communities where access is more limited.
President and Founder of BCI, Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, said the partnership demonstrates the value of sustained collaboration.
“For ten years, Delta Air Lines has stood with Breast Care International in taking the message of breast cancer awareness and early detection to communities across Ghana. We are grateful for a partnership that has helped us reach people who may otherwise have remained outside the conversation.
“As we mark this milestone, our focus must remain on reaching more communities, addressing the barriers that stand in the way of early detection and ensuring that where a woman lives does not determine her access to breast cancer information and screening,” she said.
Queen Mother of Asante Mampong, Nana Agyakoma Difie II, who was present at the event, urged women to reject misconceptions surrounding breast cancer, stressing that the disease is neither witchcraft nor a spiritual problem.
She encouraged women to prioritise regular breast checks and practice self-examination to identify unusual changes early and seek medical attention without delay.
The 2026 Walk also honoured breast cancer survivors, whose experiences continue to strengthen awareness efforts, while remembering those who have lost their lives to the disease.
As Delta and BCI mark a decade of collaboration, both organisations say the focus remains on reaching more communities, expanding education and screening, and empowering more people to act early.
