Vodafone Ghana Foundation provides free health screening to Dodi community

In a significant stride towards community well-being, the Vodafone Ghana Foundation on Friday, November 24, took its bi-monthly Healthfestprogramme to Dodi, a vibrant community nes­tled in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region.

Aligned with Vodafone Gha­na’s commitment to social respon­sibility, the initiative provided free medical care to over 583 residents.

A dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists delivered their expertise, conducting screen­ings for prevalent ailments, such as blood pressure, blood glucose, typhoid, Hepatitis B, malaria as well as ultrasound scans.

Beyond diagnosis, the Health­festprogramme embraced a comprehensive approach to com­munity well-being by distributing essential medication to those in need.

The impact of care extended further, with the Foundation en­rolling over 350 individuals on the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for continued health care support.

Nana Okoampa Gyasi II, Dodi hene, expressed profound grati­tude, acknowledging the Vodafone Ghana Foundation’s empathetic stance towards the health of the people.

He commended the Founda­tion for extending the Healthfest programme to their community, and urged them to persevere in their noble endeavours.

Rita Agyeiwaa Rockson, Man­ager for Vodafone Ghana Foun­dation, Sustainability and External Communication, said, “When we visited some of the communities of the Akosombo dam spillage last month, there were reports of health challenges in the communi­ties, and so we thought it prudent to follow up with our Healthfest initiative to provide some medical relief to the community members. We are proud of this initiative and remain committed to improving the well-being of our communi­ties.”
