Pre-Med and Community Free Screening
During the end of 2016, HCDP GHANA together with other stake holders have come to the realization that its high time our Pre-Med project give back healthcare to rural communities a free medical screening since this has been a challenge in recent times due to rural urban transportation problem.
The team will raise $500 each as a fund to support the community free screening (Pre-Med Support Fund) This will be used to purchase eye drops and eye glasses which has never been supported by the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Together with an optometrist, medical assistance and nurses, organize clinics and screen three rural communities for possible acute conjunctivitis and refractive conditions. Cases beyond our control would be referred to the nearest clinics or hospitals for further examination. We are looking at seeing 150 patients in a day and should be seeing 450 patients in total.
As part of our Pre-Med study program by our volunteers, donating their services to rural communities is key to add up to their career as medical students.
Activities include: Registration, Blood Pressure checking, body and eye screening and receiving free treatment sponsored by HCDP GHANA.

In 2009, Anku Richard Effe founded Humanity and Community Development Projects HCDP GHANA. He founded this NGO due to his passion in promoting humanitarian and community advancement in rural communities, recognizing the need for education, health and community development. HCDP GHANA's mission is to make available comprehensive support services. With this in mind, the organisation is based in Ho municipality, but works with other municipalities and districts in the Volta Region.
Since it started six years ago, the organization has grown considerably in both size and scope. Today, HCDP GHANA’s team includes 6 members from local and international fields. It has deepened its experience in education, sanitation, and the development sector, focusing on rural communities.
