Medical Outreach

On the 23rd of March, 2024, Joberg Foundation embarked on a communal health screening outreach at Kotoku Village, Akyem Asafo  in the Eastern Region of Ghana.  Over 300 aged and young persons in the Kotoku Village have benefitted from a free medical health screening exercise and the treatment of various ailments, while those identified with more serious health conditions were referred to the hospital. Some of the beneficiaries who spoke to the media said they were constantly afraid for their lives anytime they were ill, due to lack of access to medical care, and thanked the Abuakwa South District Assembly and JoBerg Foundation for the support given them.   Thanks for your support

As part of Joberg’s social intervention, we embarked on a medical screening in Akatsi North Constituency specifically Ave Dakpa a medical team comprising of Six Medical Doctors, 3 lab technicians, 3 nurses undertook a medical screening for the residents of the community. This medical outreach was sponsored by Joberg Construction, Das Pharma, Special Ice, and Jos Pharmaceuticals. A large number of residents were screened and medication administered to them. Due to the fact that it occurred during the Easter Festivities, the aged and elderly were given bags of rice, oil, mackerel and drink after the screening. After the screening medicine water and drinks were donated to the community’s only CHPS Compound.

JOBerg Foundation, an Accra-based non-profit non-governmental charity organization has brought smiles on the faces of the chiefs and people of Bawjiase in the central region through a free medical screening outreach program accompanied with gift bags. Over all, about 230 residents including the chief of the town received medical screening on Saturday December 18 from doctors and volunteer nurses for various non-communicable diseases such as eye cataract, hypertension or high blood pressure, malaria, typhoid and many others. Many screened residents were found to have high blood pressure and given medication to manage their situation. Many were also recommended for further treatments especially those many residents  who were found to have eye cataracts. Participating residents also took home gift bags of 1kg & 5kg rice bags, cooking oil, confectionaries and petty cash from  JOBerg Foundation.  With a Covid-19 vaccination center nearby, residents were encouraged to take their jabs after the screening exercise. JOBerg Founder, Joseph Magnus Marteye who personally handed over gift bags to residents after screening told the people that his personal values of charity and empathy makes him interested in public health issues and the medical screening was his personal and his foundation’s token donation to the people of the randomly chosen poor community  as we celebrate Christmas and new year.  He also encouraged residents to take their health matters seriously. JOBerg’s medical outreach at Bawjiase on Saturday was the first in a series of public health programs designed by the charity foundation to create more public health awareness and education as well as assistance to very poor and deprived communities. The foundation’s public health initiatives also include the ongoing expansion project of the Manhyia government hospital maternity ward in Kumasi as well as the construction of a Covid-19 isolation center at Amanfro Polyclinic in the greater Accra region.

The blood that runs through our veins is the passion to give.” The Chiefs and elders of the community expressed their profound gratitude to the Joberg Foundation for such a generous gesture. Joberg Foundation was founded in 2018 by Mr. Joseph Magnus Marteye with its main vision being helping the underprivileged in the society.
