As part of its 25th Anniversary celebrations, HealthLink organised a Breast Cancer Awareness and Medical Screening Outreach on October 29, 2024, at the American House Taxi Rank in East Legon. This initiative was aimed at educating the public on the importance of early detection and prevention while providing free health screenings to the community.
Breast cancer remains a major health concern, and HealthLink’s team of medical professionals took the opportunity to engage attendees in informative discussions about risk factors, self-examinations, and the need for regular screenings. Women were encouraged to prioritize their health by seeking early diagnosis and medical support when necessary. Alongside breast cancer awareness, the outreach program also offered general health screenings, including blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, and BMI assessments, ensuring that participants gained a broader understanding of their overall well-being.
The event saw an overwhelming response from community members who appreciated the opportunity to receive professional medical advice and screenings at no cost.
This impactful initiative was made possible with the invaluable support of a dedicated team from MediSite, whose expertise and commitment to community health played a crucial role in the event’s success. Their collaboration with HealthLink ensured that attendees received comprehensive medical care and education, reinforcing the importance of preventive healthcare.
HealthLink’s dedication to community health extends beyond its clinical services, and through initiatives like these, the organisation continues to reinforce its mission of promoting accessible and preventive healthcare. As it enters its 26th year of excellence, HealthLink remains committed to driving impactful health interventions that benefit individuals and communities alike.
