‘Early detection saves lives’ - Globe Health Assessment Clinic offers free health checks

The Globe Health Assessment Clinic has organised a free medical screening exercise to improve access to healthcare and encourage the early detection of diseases among residents.

The facility's Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Oppong, said the initiative was designed to help people facing financial difficulties access medical care by providing essential health checks at no cost.

Speaking to the media during the exercise, he explained that early detection of diseases was crucial to ensuring timely treatment and preventing minor health conditions from developing into serious complications.

Oppong said the exercise was organised as part of activities marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month and represented the clinic’s first community outreach programme. He added that the facility intended to make the initiative an annual event.



He further disclosed that the clinic planned to deploy its medical van to other regions to extend the programme to more communities and enable more people to benefit from its healthcare services.

According to him, the free services provided during the exercise included vital signs checks, ultrasound scans, full blood count tests and vaccinations.

He encouraged residents, particularly women, to take advantage of the opportunity to undergo breast examinations and other medical checks, emphasising the importance of regular screening in detecting diseases at an early stage.

Oppong also noted that Globe Health Assessment Clinic, located at Westlands opposite UTA Ghana, offers a range of diagnostic services, including ultrasound scans, laboratory investigations, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and tuberculosis testing for students travelling abroad.

He reaffirmed the clinic’s commitment to improving access to healthcare and supporting efforts to promote preventive healthcare across the country.
