- Free five-day surgical outreach underway at Goaso Municipal Hospital
- Patients treated for eye disorders, hernia, goitre, and fibroids
- Exercise organised by the West Africa College of Physicians and Surgeons
The West Africa College of Physicians and Surgeons has launched a free surgical outreach in the Ahafo Region to assist patients with conditions including eye diseases, hernia, goitre, and fibroids. The five-day medical exercise is taking place at the Goaso Municipal Hospital, where a team of specialist healthcare professionals is offering surgical services to hundreds of patients from across the region.
In an interview with Adom News, the Medical Superintendent of Goaso Municipal Hospital, Dr. James Ankoma, explained that the outreach—made possible through the support of the Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner—is aimed at improving access to specialised healthcare for residents.
Dr. Ankoma noted that a number of successful surgeries have already been performed, with patients responding well to treatment, thanks to the support of the hospital’s staff.
He further stated that the outreach, which is scheduled to end on Friday, February 6, 2026, is entirely free for National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) subscribers, and encouraged residents to take full advantage of the initiative.
