Some of the beneficiaries of the programme<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Residents of Subri in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region, numbering about one thousand, benefitted from a medical outreach organised by Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, in partnership with the Rotary Clubs of Tarkwa, Anaji, and Bogoso, all in the region.<\/p>\n
The initiative was part of effort to help bring healthcare services to the doorsteps of the residents and raise awareness on certain critical health issues.<\/p>\n
Among others, the residents were screened for breast cancer, diabetes and blood pressure. There was also free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration.<\/p>\n
Abdel Razak Yakubu, Executive Secretary of the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, acknowledged that access to healthcare services in the area is a major challenge.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIt\u2019s not just about having health facilities in place, but sometimes ensuring that the requisite resources needed to enable people utilise the facilities, are provided.\u201d<\/p>\n
He cited an instance where the cost of accessing the nearest National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) office in Tarkwa, has become a challenge for the residents of Subri.<\/p>\n
Mr. Yakubu revealed that the foundation invested over GH\u00a2220,000 in the outreach programme and in the registration of residents onto the NHIS.<\/p>\n
The foundation paid the premiums for the first 500 registrants and pledged to support more people in remote communities to register.<\/p>\n
Dr. Magdalene Bakari, Unit Manager for Health Services at Gold Fields Ghana, took the residents through self-breast examinations and the need to seek early treatment when any of the symptoms is detected.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are empowering people to take charge of their health,\u201d she noted, and encouraged the residents not to neglect regular medical check-ups at nearby health facilities.<\/p>\n
An official from the NHIS, Ebenezer Atuahene, highlighted the importance of the outreach programme, particularly the impact of registering some of the community members onto the NHIS.<\/p>\n
The Rotary President of Tarkwa, Nathaniel Northa, pointed out that the event underscored the Rotary Club\u2019s long-standing commitment to improving the health of the\u00a0community members.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cFor five years, the Rotary Clubs have partnered with the Gold Fields Foundation to bring healthcare services to people in need in various communities within the company\u2019s catchment areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
