More than 2,000 residents of Mampong and surrounding communities benefited from a free health screening and blood donation exercise held last Friday.
The programme was organized by Asante Mampong Queen Mother, Nana AgyakumaDufie II and Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, in collaboration with MTN Ghana and the Mampong Government Hospital.
Participants were screened for blood pressure, malaria, fever, HIV, eye conditions, TB, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, and other communicable and non-communicable ailments.
Nana AgyakumaDufie II said the initiative aims to encourage residents to prioritize their health and seek timely medical care. She noted that the exercise was approved and supported by DaasebreOseiBonsu III, Paramount Chief of Asante Mampong, to ensure people access early interventions.
According to her, the exercise would not be a nine-day wonder and that the next one would be organised in December, this year. Dr. Frank Amoakohene, a native of Mampong, commended the Paramount Chief and Queen Mother for their continued support.
