    Om programmet

    Screening / Medical Check-Up

    Volunteers will assist in taking measurements such as weight, height, and BMI for both children and adults. Additional checks will include temperature, cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Approximately 3,000 patients are expected to receive medical attention during the outreach. Each patient will be provided with a prescription for any required medication, which can be collected at our dispensary.

    Public Health Education

    As part of the outreach, volunteers will support public health education initiatives, raising awareness on essential health topics. One-on-one counselling sessions will also be offered to patients who require guidance or support.

    Dispensary

    Common medications for illnesses and symptoms such as coughs, headaches, colds, malaria, hypertension, and arthritis will be distributed upon presentation of prescriptions.

    Freebies

    A dedicated stand at the outreach venue will provide beneficiaries with free essential items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, sanitary pads, and sweets.

    Importance of This Project

    • To make healthcare accessible to communities that may not be able to afford regular visits to health centers.

    • To provide education on critical health issues and promote preventive care.

    • To screen patients, offer immediate treatment, and refer complicated cases to the regional hospital.

    • To expose volunteers to community health challenges and equip them with skills to identify and implement solutions.

    At Future for Africa, we believe that the best way to extend knowledge and care is through active community engagement. Consultations with senior health practitioners at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital have confirmed the impact of such initiatives, which is why our humanitarian medical volunteer program places strong emphasis on stakeholder involvement and community-driven solutions. Through this program, volunteers gain meaningful hands-on experience while contributing to the health and well-being of communities across Northern Ghana.
