🩺 FREE COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENING AT APENKWA, ACCRA
Auntie Linda Foundation was privileged to join the Men’s Fellowship of Eternity Presbyterian Church, Apenkwa, Accra, as part of their 50th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, 8th August 2026, through a free community health screening.
Over 120 community members benefited from the programme, which provided access to health screening, medical consultation, counselling and health education.
🔹 Services provided included:
• Blood Pressure checks
• Weight checks
• Random and Fasting Blood Sugar testing
• HIV testing
• Hepatitis screening
• Malaria testing
• Typhoid testing
• H. pylori testing
• Prostate screening
• Medical consultation and counselling
We were supported by two doctors—one from the church and another invited from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital—who provided medical consultations, counselling and advice to participants.
The Korle Bu Blood Bank was also present to support the programme through a blood donation exercise.
Some participants were identified with health concerns and were referred and linked to health facilities for further assessment and care.
HIV OUTREACH AT KOKOMPE
On Friday, 7th August 2026, a day before the Apenkwa programme, Auntie Linda Foundation conducted an HIV education and prevention outreach at Kokompe, Accra the busy spare-parts hub.
Many people working at Kokompe, particularly men, spend long hours working and may have limited time to visit health facilities. We therefore took HIV education and prevention services directly to them.
During the outreach:
đź§Ş 250+ HIV self-test kits were distributed
🛡️ 1,200+ condoms were distributed
📚 300+ people received HIV education and prevention information
Several participants expressed interest in testing and encouraged us to return for more outreach activities.
We sincerely thank the Men’s Fellowship of Eternity Presbyterian Church, Apenkwa, for the invitation and partnership, and Hon. Patrick Boamah, Member of Parliament for the area, for supporting the church’s anniversary activities.
We also appreciate the doctors, laboratory professionals, Korle Bu Blood Bank, volunteers and all partners who contributed to the success of the programme.
At Auntie Linda Foundation, we believe that healthcare should not only wait for people in hospitals.
We must take health education, screening and prevention directly to where people live and work.
