Accra: Over 400 women have benefitted from a special health screening exercise organised by Accra-based Woezor TV as part of the station's activities marking this year's Mother's Day celebrations.
According to Ghana News Agency, the event, dubbed the 'Mother's Day Treat,' attracted traders from Abelemkpe Santana Market and residents from nearby communities such as Alajo and New Boi Town. Participants underwent preventive screening for diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, malaria, typhoid, and Hepatitis B. Additionally, services included blood group tests, physical examinations, and counselling.
Women who were not enrolled in the National Health Insurance Scheme were registered for free, while those with expired cards received assistance to renew their subscriptions. Woezor TV also presented souvenirs and gifts in appreciation of mothers' contributions to family and national development.
The event ran from 0800 to 1600 hours and featured music and public education on preventive health care. Support came from the National Health Insurance Authority, Ghana Medical Trust Fund, EventPR, Twellium Ghana Ltd, Total House Clinic, Garnet Medical Centre, A1 Bread and Bakery, C-MatiVents Company Limited, and Vision Creative Company Limited.
