NPP Amenfi West parliamentary aspirant organises medical outreach

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for Amenfi West, Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa, has organised a medical outreach for residents of six towns in the constituency.

The beneficiary constituencies are Asankragua, Samreboi, Nkwanta Kesse, Mumuni, Ayensu Krom and Wasss Dunkwa.

The outreach programme, a key part of Mr Afrifa’s broader engagement with the people within the electoral areas of his constituency, was designed to deliver quality healthcare to underserved communities. 

A team of volunteer medical professionals from the International Maritime Hospital and the University of Ghana Medical Centre joined forces to provide a wide range of services, from general health check-ups and screenings to specialised consultations to the beneficiaries.

The team moved from town to town, offering healthcare services while also facilitating the registration of residents onto the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). 

Community engagement

The outreach served as a platform for Mr Afrifa to engage directly with the people within the electoral areas. 

A 70-year-old farmer at Samreboi, Agya Mensah Appiah, said “I’m grateful for the free screening. I was given medication and advice that will help me manage this condition before it worsens.”

Another beneficiary, Comfort Yaa Darko, a 63-year-old petty trader from Asankragua, also found relief in the programme. 

For his part, Mr Afrifa said the hands-on involvement and direct engagement with the residents had fostered a deep sense of trust and connection. 

“The health and well-being of the people in Wassa Amenfi West is a priority for me. It’s crucial for the development of our community, and it’s a central part of my vision for our future if I’m elected as your Member of Parliament,” Mr Afrifa affirmed.
