“The RCG recognizes the importance of health and well-being within the community. Our goal with this health screening is to help address fundamental challenges regarding access to quality healthcare services in Ghana,” he stated.
The screening will include tests for common diseases, offering attendees the opportunity for medical consultations and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Educational sessions will also provide insights into disease prevention and chronic condition management.
Open to the public, the event seeks to promote overall wellness and heighten awareness of crucial health issues affecting the community.
