Transforming Lives: A Resounding Success At Annual Free Health Insurance Registration And Eye Screening In Amissano And Amoanda

This transformative initiative, spearheaded by Assemblyman Augustine Kwesi Andoh, brought essential healthcare services to over 500 residents, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of children, the elderly, and families across both communities.

The event focused on providing free health insurance registration and renewals, primarily targeting children under 17 and the aged. Over 500 individuals benefited from this critical service, gaining access to healthcare through the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). For many, this was a lifeline, ensuring they could seek medical care without the burden of financial constraints.

The joy on the faces of all across the communities was a testament to the power of collective effort and compassion.

A standout feature of the event was the free eye screening, which proved to be a game-changer for the participants.

Astonishingly, over 90% of those screened had never had their eyes checked before, making this a historic moment for both children and adults.

The screenings, conducted with precision and care, identified vision issues that could now be addressed, significantly improving the quality of life for many.

This initiative not only addressed immediate health needs but also raised awareness about the importance of regular eye care, fostering a culture of proactive health management.

The success of this event would not have been possible without the unwavering support of key partners and sponsors. Special thanks go to the dedicated team from Central Hospital, Cape Coast Bakaano, whose expertise ensured the eye screenings were conducted seamlessly.

The Municipal NHIS team from KEEA played a pivotal role in facilitating the health insurance registrations, making the process efficient and accessible. Sam’s Optical Supply, Cape Coast Bakaano, provided essential resources, enhancing the quality of the screenings.

The leadership and encouragement from Nana Kobina Amissano, Chief of Amissah, and Nana Nyarko Ansah II, Chief of Amoanda, inspired the communities to rally behind this noble cause.

Additionally, the generosity of our sponsors provided the financial backbone for the event, turning a vision into reality.

Assemblyman Augustine Kwesi Andoh expressed profound gratitude to his team for their immense support and dedication.

“This was a dream we nurtured for our people, and seeing it come to life with such impact fills my heart with pride,” he said. “Our team worked tirelessly, and I’m deeply grateful for their commitment to serving our communities.”

The people of Amissano and Amoanda extend their heartfelt appreciation to all who made this event possible.

“God bless you all abundantly,” they echoed, a sentiment that resonates with the spirit of unity and care that defined the day.

The event not only addressed immediate healthcare needs but also strengthened the bonds of community, setting a powerful precedent for future initiatives. As we reflect on this milestone, plans are already underway to make next year’s event even bigger and more impactful. The Amissano and Amoanda communities stand united in their commitment to health, hope, and a brighter future for all.
