The Ghana Military Academy (GMA) conducted a two-day medical outreach with free health screening and general medical consultation, with a total of 734 people from the Kpoeta Traditional Area benefiting.
The 2-day event took place from 14-15 January 2025, at Ashanti-Kpoeta in the Ho West District of the Volta Region of Ghana.
The Commandant, GMA – Major General (Maj Gen) Charles Agyemang-Prempeh in his remarks stated that, the aim of the outreach was to show appreciation to the community, which supports and hosts cadets to conduct their exercises successfully.
The Midwife-in-charge of the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound – Madam Florence Atike, expressed gratitude to Maj Gen C Agyemang-Prempeh for the services which she said had relieved the facility.
She added that an average of 18-20 patients turn up at the health center daily for treatment, however, some of the sick in Kpoeta do not patronize the CHPS Compound, due to financial difficulties.
The Senior Medical Officer, GMA – Major Fuseni Sylvester Alhassan encouraged the people of Ashanti-Kpoeta to pay serious attention to their health, and to visit the nearest medical center for frequent health checkup.
GMA also made a donation of books for the library of Ashanti-Kpoeta Basic School, to enhance the reading skills of the pupils.
The GMA team included the Chief Coordinator – Colonel (Col) Noble Carl Doe Dei-Alorse; Chief Instructor, Army Faculty – Col Cephas Tettey Broni; and the Academy Sergeant Major – Senior Warrant Officer Gane Frederick.
