The donation, according to him, falls within the Foundation’s objective of empowering the public especially the youths and the AGED no matter where they find themselves.
He believes when Traditional Authorities, corporate bodies, Government Agencies, Ministries, various embassies, Religious bodies come together to help to better the needs of society and humanity, the world would be a better place.
He asked the community members not to despair because God is still interested in them and further advised them to keep their spirit afloat and stand up to shine, adding that the Lord would make them rise above their weaknesses.
Health Screening
More than 300 resident’s aside the donation further benefited from a health screening exercise with the focus on quality healthcare delivery.
The beneficiaries, who were of different age groups, were screened for various health conditions, including hepatitis, syphilis, malaria, blood, glucose content levels among others.
Some of the beneficiaries, who were identified as suffering from malnutrition, were counselled on good diet and also given some food supplements.
The beneficiaries were also educated on healthy lifestyles that would enable them to avoid diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, among others.
The Medical Laboratory Scientist, Mr Appiah George Boadu at the New Tafo General Hospital said the exercise was organized as part of efforts to ensure quality healthcare delivery.
He spoke about the various type of screening and further assured the community members of good screening, in addition to better service of good health care for them in months and years ahead.
He said most members of the public were ignorant of their health status, and that situation often resulted in disease complications and the resultant high cost of treatment or loss of lives in the long run.
He cautioned that the cost of ignoring a healthy lifestyle could sometimes be huge, and further, appealed to the public to make their health a priority, just as they treated their work and other related matters.
Appreciation
Some of the beneficiaries after the exercise said they were very appreciative for having had the chance to be screened for certain diseases, as well as having been educated on healthy lifestyle and urged the executives of JusBan Foundation to continue with their good work.
