Accra, Sept. 11 GNA - Alpha and Omega, an international nongovernmental organization (NGO) based in the United States in conjunction with New Hope International Ministry also in the United States have offered free dental and medical care to children at Palladium in the Ga-Mashie area.
The Rev Dr Godfrey Nunoo, leader of the four-member dental team, said: 93Our aim is to offer free dental care and oral hygiene education", adding that it had been the vision of their NGO and the fellowship to offer support to the vulnerable.
The group early presented some dental medical suppliers to the 37th Military Hospital, Police Hospital, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the Tema General Hospital to the tune of 7,000 dollars.
Rev. Dr Nunoo said this was the sixth time the team was visiting the country and that though their target was mainly the rural areas, they had to divert to Ga-Mashie due to the rains and inadequate transport at their disposal and appealed for support.
He said that the group intended to visit about 12 villages such as Kofi Kwei in the Eastern Region and was considering the introduction of a Mobile Health Unit on their next visit and added that apart from the children dental care, evening lectures on women empowerment were offered to women in the various communities they visited.
He said the NGO was also working in conjunction with Aid for AIDS in Africa, another NGO, to provide support for AIDS patients in Ghana and Africa.
