Theovision’s 2024 medical outreach has come to an end, with a presentation of medicines worth several thousands of cedis to the Jomoro District Health Directorate.
The items constitute medicines meant to establish a CHPS compound for the Nzolenzu community.
Presenting the items at a short ceremony in Half Assini, Rev. Eric Wussah, leader of the Theovision Medical Outreach Team, said the actual commissioning of the CHPS compound has been delayed a couple of months to allow the Nzolenzu community complete the infrastructure necessary for sustaining the project.
He hoped the commissioning will be done in October this year, as soon as the community completes the facility for the CHPS compound.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Nzolenzu community, the Municipal Health Coordinator of the Jomoro District, Mr. Gabriel Yengliere, thanked Theovision for the support.
He said providing a CHPS compound for the Nzolenzu community has been on the agenda for a long time, but the lack of funds has made it impossible.
“We are grateful to Theovision for the intervention. We hope this will be the beginning of many more of such life-saving programs,” he said.
The week-long medical outreach took place Nzolenzu, Nuba and Jaway, all in the Jomoro District of the Western Region.
A total of 2,431 cases were treated by a team of doctors, laboratory technicians, counsellors and other support staff.
Over 300 emergency cases were reported, and 479 people were enrolled on the National Health lnsurance Scheme (NHIS).
A total of 1,108 children were treated, and 218 sanitary pads distributed. To the glory of God, 460 souls gave their lives to Christ.
The annual medical outreach is organised by Theovision International, a non-profit Christian organisation dedicated to spreading the Gospel in indigenous languages using the audio Bible.
Theovision has recorded the audio Bible in 473 languages in 36 African countries reaching millions of people.
The annual medical outreach is part of its corporate social responsibility, and its overall mission to show the love of God to all.
It provides quality health care to people in remote communities who are unable to afford or access quality medical care.
Various ailments, including malaria, fever, typhoid, high blood pressure, diabetes, wounds and sores, counselling and prayer among others, were provided to community members in Nzolenzu, Nuba and Jaway.
