A scene during the exercise
The Asutifi North District has successfully completed 130 surgical cases under a free surgical outreach at the Asutifi North District Hospital.
The District Director of Health Service, Dr. Brian Sienso, announced the milestone, thanking God for the success of the exercise.
He expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asutifi North, Ebenezer Addo, for his support and commitment to bringing quality healthcare closer to residents.
“130 surgical cases. Countless lives touched. Families given hope. Suffering relieved. This is more than surgery; it is a powerful demonstration of compassion, leadership, and service to humanity,” Dr. Sienso said.
He also commended the dedicated medical team, nurses, support staff and all who contributed to making the exercise a success.
The outreach fulfils an earlier announcement by Mr. Addo, in collaboration with the Asutifi North Health Directorate, to organise free surgical screening and procedures for constituents.
The exercise covered conditions including lipoma, hernia, hydrocele and breast-related cases.
Screening was conducted across all zones in the constituency, including Kenyasi Hospital on September 12, Gyedu Health Centre on September 19, Koforidua Clinic on September 26, and Gambia No.1 Health Centre on October 3, with the actual surgical procedures held from October 19 to 23.
According to the MP, the initiative is in line with his campaign promise and Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
“Healthcare is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of our development. This outreach is part of my continuous effort to bring quality healthcare to the doorstep of my people and to ensure that no one is left behind due to financial constraints,” Mr. Addo had stated
The District Health Director said when leadership meets compassion, lives are transformed.
