The Daniel Ntow Obese Foundation has provided free health screening to some communities in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) Municipality.
Residents of Saman, Abotar, and Park Communities in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) Municipality benefited from comprehensive medical screenings, free medications, and donations provided by the Daniel Ntow Obese Foundation.
The health screenings covered eyesight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and malaria, among other conditions with over 200 residents benefitting from the screenings and receiving necessary medications.
Additionally, all students at the local school were dewormed and provided with career counselling.
Mrs. Elizabeth Obese, President of the Daniel Ntow Obese Foundation, expressed her happiness at being able to contribute to the communities in this meaningful way.
Highlighting the Foundation’s commitment to addressing not only immediate health needs, she also advocated for improvements in infrastructure and education within the communities.
She emphasized, “It’s a medical outreach to ensure we assess their health status, provide advice, and distribute clothing. Following a needs assessment, it became clear that clothing was also needed.”
Addressing broader community issues, Mrs. Obese called upon government authorities and district education officials to intervene in critical areas such as road conditions and water supply.
She noted, “The road is in a terrible state. Additionally, the school lacks basic necessities like functioning doors and windows.”
Dr. Obed Amoah-Smith from the University of Cape Coast Hospital shared insights from the health screenings, noting cases of cataracts, glaucoma suspects requiring further testing, allergies, infections, and refractive errors were the major cases found among the residents.
He underscored the importance of early detection and proper medical follow-up to ensure the well-being of the community members.
According to him, the initiative by the Daniel Ntow Obese Foundation not only provided essential health services, but also shed light on ongoing challenges faced by these communities, advocating for sustainable improvements to enhance their quality of life.
Several community members who took part in the health screening expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Daniel Ntow Obese (DNO) Foundation for their impactful efforts.
“We are truly grateful to the DNO Foundation for everything they’ve done for us today— the screenings, the free medications, and the clothes. May God make this foundation very successful and bless all their endeavors.”
