About 300 members of Gateway Sanctuary of the International Central Gospel Church(ICGC)and community members at Pokuase have undergone free medical screening last Saturday.
They were screened of hepatitis C, dental, eye, Body Mass Index, diabetes, HIV and counseled on their diet among others.
Similarly, the beneficiaries also donated blood to save lives.
It was organised by the church in partnership with Ghana Health Service (GHS), Ga North Public Health Directorate and Ga West District Hospital.
The Resident pastor of the Church, Reverend Andrew Darko-Ameyaw briefing journalists said the annual exercise was part of the church’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
He stressed the need for the church to cater for both the spiritual and health needs of the church members and the community they live in.
Pastor Darko-Ameyaw said beneficiaries screened and given medication, adding that those who need were referred to a health facility.
He urged the church members to make their health a priority at all times.
The Deputy Director-General of the GHS,Dr Anthony Ofosu advised the public to visit health facilities regularly and adopt healthy lifestyles.
“Certain diseases such as cancers and diabetes do not show early symptoms, visiting the health facilities regularly would help detect and cure them early,” he added.
He called on the public to eat balance diets avoid eating late and exercise regularly.
A beneficiary, Mr James Mensah who spoke to the Ghanaian Times lauded the leadership of the church for the initiative.
He said it would go a long way to improve the health of the members of the church and the community at large.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
