More than 150 residents of Dome, including the aged, young adults and children, have benefited from a free medical and eye screening exercise organised by ASA Savings and Loans at the Dome Park.
The screening, which targeted conditions such as malaria, diabetes, hepatitis B and blood pressure, also included checks for eye allergies, particularly conjunctivitis. Critical cases were referred for further treatment, while treated mosquito nets and medications were distributed to participants.
The initiative, held ahead of this year’s Homowo festival, forms part of ASA’s corporate social responsibility drive.
Team Lead from the Modern Care Hospital, Gershon Boateng, advised residents to adopt healthy lifestyles, including regular exercise, balanced diets, and increased intake of fruits and water to boost immunity.
ASA’s Sustainability Manager, Richard Nartey, who supervised the exercise, expressed delight at the turnout and assured residents of the company’s continued support. He further encouraged participants to prioritise regular health checks.
One of the beneficiaries, Joyce Afedi, commended ASA and the medical team for organising what she described as a timely and impactful intervention.
