The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), in collaboration with the Nkoranza Traditional Council, have successfully organised a free medical screening for the people of Nkoranza and Jema in the Bono East Region as part of the activities to mark the coronation of Nana Kwame Baffoe IV as the new Omanhene and Nana Yaa Sarpomaa III, as Omanhemaa of the traditional area as part of the hospital’s 70th Anniversary.
The event, held at the Nkoranza Health Centre, offered an array of services, including: blood pressure checks, Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments, blood sugar testing, medical consultations, eye screening, oral examinations and health education.
Hundreds of residents flocked to the centre, eager to access these free services and quality healthcare from KATH’s dedicated team. The event not only promoted health awareness but also strengthened the bond between KATH and the Nkoranza community.
Speaking to the media, the Chairman of the Coronation Committee, Mr. Robert Adomako, expressed his gratitude to the Chief Executive Officer of KATH, Dr (Med) Paa Kwesi Baidoo and his management for the foresight in organising the medical screening for the people of Nkoranza and also to the outreach team for a good work done.
The Nana Kwesi Adjei III, Nkoranza Kontihene in an interview expressed his happiness and gratitude to the medical team, for its dedication and support to the people of Nkoranza and appealed to hospital management to if possible make this a quarterly event to help ease the burden of their medical facilities.
To show his support for the exercise, the Omanhene, Nana Kwame Baffoe IV, paid a visit to the screening grounds to interact with the medical team and the patients.
KATH’s commitment to specialised healthcare outreach and community engagement was evident in the success of this event, making a positive impact on the lives of many.
