The Member of Parliament (MP) for Asutifi North, Ebenezer Addo, in collaboration with the Asutifi North Health Directorate, has announced a free surgical outreach and screening exercise for residents of the constituency.
The exercise, which will be led by Dr. Bryan A. Sienso and his medical team, will cover surgical cases including lipoma, hernia, hydrocele, and breast-related conditions. According to the schedule, the screening will be conducted across all zones in the constituency ahead of the actual surgical procedures.
The screening dates are as follows: September 12 – Kenyasi Hospital, Kenyasi Zone; September 19 – Gyedu Health Center, Gyedu, Ntotoroso & Wamahinso Zone; September 26 – Koforidua Clinic, Goamu Zone; October 3 – Gambia No. 1 Health Center, Gambia / Agravi Zone; October 19 to 23 –  surgical procedures for all screened patients.
In a statement, Mr. Addo reaffirmed his commitment to improving access to quality healthcare in the constituency.
He noted that 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, in line with our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and my commitment to ensuring that my constituents are safe and healthy,” the MP stated.
He therefore called on all constituents with such conditions to take advantage of the opportunity and turn up in their numbers at the designated screening centres for assessment.
