Assemblymember holds free medical screening for over 250 community members

The Assembly member in the Akatsi South Municipality, Japhet Festus Gbede, has organised a health screening exercise for over 250 residents in the Wuxor, Have, and Sremanu Electoral Areas.

The initiative, according to Japhet Gbede, was to provide safe healthcare services to the elderly, PWDs, and other vulnerable groups, with a focus on women and children.

The initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Akatsi South Municipal Hospital with a team of medical doctors, laboratory technicians, physician assistants, and nurses drawn from various parts of the country.

Residents from Have-Fiakpokorpe, Wuxor, Sremanu, and its surrounding communities who benefited from the exercise were diagnosed and treated for high blood sugar, diabetes, hepatitis B, and malaria, among others. Medicines were given to beneficiaries to treat ailments diagnosed.

The Assembly member, who indicated that he is committed to finding solutions to the challenges facing the health sector in the electoral area and is hopeful that the periodic screening exercise will improve the health of the electorates to actualize the Sustainable Development Goals, commended the Municipal Hospital for coming to the aid of his people.
