Vodafone Ghana\u2019s Healthline television programme has made a huge impact on the residents of Kumasi. The programme which has been showing for over eight weeks now on some major television stations across the country provides information to Ghanaians on various subjects on health.<\/p>\n

Vodafone Ghana at the weekend publicly screened the ground breaking Healthline TV programme to residents of Kumasi at the Bantama Presby Park. The screening was to bring the Healthline programme to the community level to further engage with residents on their health, and show Vodafone\u2019s passion and commitment to improving their health.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the event was the testimonies of Bismark Nyantakyi and Abdul-Malik, two beneficiaries of the Healthline TV programme from Kumasi. Thirteen year old Bismark suffered from a condition that prohibited the normal functioning of his digestive system for several months until Vodafone was touched by the plight of the victim and paid for his operation.<\/p>\n

Bismark who in the documentary hopes to become a medical practitioner in the near future is now on his feet again with his health fully restored. Four year old Abdul-Malik accidentally drank caustic soda resulting in severe injuries to his throat, which made him difficult to swallow food. Vodafone Ghana through their Healthline TV programme again was moved to pay for the full cost of his surgery and treatment.<\/p>\n

In addition to paying for their treatment, families of the two beneficiaries also have been financially supported to cater for their education. The Banatamahene, Baffuor Amankwatia IV who chaired the occasion, was full of praise for the initiative taken by Vodafone to reach out to the health needs of the people. A medical practitioner from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi who was among the dignitaries invited and advised the people present to take issues on their health very serious.<\/p>\n

The Healthline programme have a panel of doctors who for the past eight weeks been educating Ghanaians on various health issues on heart conditions, eye care, infectious diseases, cancer and many others. Medical specialists have also appeared on the show to offer insight on certain topics. The sex talk and myth-busting segments have also dealt with sensitive issues that are not often openly discussed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealthline is a demonstration of Vodafone Ghana\u2019s pledge to positively impact the lives of Ghanaians,\u201d said Carmen Bruce-Annan, Head of Corporate Communications at Vodafone Ghana. Residents of Kumasi who attended the screening expressed their amazement and gratitude to Vodafone for touching the lives and livelihood of many Ghanaians benevolently by way of paying for their medical procedures.<\/p>\n

With just some few weeks to end, Vodafone\u2019s Healthline TV programme has indisputably impacted and transformed the lives of millions of Ghanaians by empowering them with health information. Scores of individuals have also been given a new lease on life and communities have been touched by this initiative. By far this initiative undeniably put Vodafone Ghana ahead in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.<\/p>\n

The Healthline radio show will start airing in September. The focus would be on busting myths and certain practices that have either helped or hurt human lives.<\/p>\n
