First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo
The Rebecca Foundation, in
collaboration with the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council and the Ghana
Health Service, is organising medical outreach programmes in four districts in
the Upper East Region.
The beneficiary districts include
the Builsa South, Kassena-Nankana West, Bawku West and the Nabdam Districts.
First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo
is leading her foundation and a team of specialists to the districts to ensure
that persons who hitherto wouldn’t have had specialist care get the needed
attention.
The Upper East Regional
Minister, Tangoba Abayage, told DAILY
GUIDE in Bolgatanga that all arrangements have been made to ensure that the
medical outreach programme becomes successful.
“The Regional
Coordinating Council is ready, the Ghana Health Service is equally ready to
deliver. We are only waiting for the first lady and her team to arrive in the
region, then the programme will start. This is an opportunity for the beneficiary
districts and communities to get specialist attention and diagnosis of their
problems,” she said.
Madam Abayage expressed
optimism that the medical outreach programme would afford the first lady the
opportunity to also see at first hand some of the developmental challenges in
deprived communities in the Upper East Region.
The medical outreach
programme started in the Kassena-Nankana West District yesterday, and it would move
to Bawku West District today.
On Wednesday, the team would be
in Builsa South and the wrap up on August 8 in the Nabdam District.
There will be counselling
services on healthy lifestyles and referrals of major health cases for further
medical attention.
