Ho, May 19, GNA - Doctors under the aegis of the Volta Division of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) would on Friday offer free medical screening in communities in and around Abutia-Forsime situated within the Kalakpa Forest Reserve. A statement signed by Dr Gafatsi Normanyo, Division Chairman said "school children and others would be screened, treated and those needing referral, referred." The Volta Doctors' Guild, to mark its 50th anniversary last year, instituted a programme dubbed "Operation Recover Forgotten Territories" under which the doctors would undertake outreaches to outlandish areas of the region every year to offer free medical screening. The statement said getting to Abutia-Forsime, location for this year's outreach, would involve travelling by tractor on dry days or wading through sheets of mud on rainy days. As part of the exercise, health talks would be delivered on important health issues. The first outreach last year was at Bomigo that the statement said was "in the muddy bowels of the Keta Lagoon" and reached only by boat.
