The Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom Constituency, Hon. Dr. Adomako Kiss has embarked on a series of Free Healthcare screening and Hepatitis B awareness in his constituency aimed at checking their blood pressure, malaria test, blood sugar, medications and individual health statuses.
“I have put in place achievable measures to get most of the people in my constituency to undergo a series of check-ups to know their health status. Anyaa Sowutuom constituency is made up of mainly Traders who depend on this industry for income. They use enough energy on a daily basis due to the tedious nature of their work, so there is a need for them to undergo regular check-up.
…To this end, I have contacted professional medical personnel who are conducting the screening process to identify diseases related to the individual community,” he said.
Hon. Dr. Adomako Kiss who doubles as the Vice-Chairperson of Parliament Committee on Environment, Science and Technology and member of Public Accounts Committee stated these when he organized health screening exercises for over 500 people at Anyaa Polyclinic (Anyaa Market Terminal) on Wednesday, 29th December 2021.
Hon.Dr. Adomako Kissi was joined by the Municipal Chief Executive for Ga Central, Hon. Bashiru Mohammed Kamara and the Municipal Health Director, Dr.Esther Odame-Asiedu, and staff/Nurses at the Free Health Screening Program.
According to him, the exercise will ensure the healthy well-being of the constituents
“Good governance is not only about the provision of infrastructure and social amenities, ensuring the safety and well-being of the constituents is also paramount
As a Member of Parliament, my core mandate is to ensure that my constituents are healthy enough to enjoy their share of the national cake.
Hon.Dr. Adomako Kissi (MP for Anyaa Sowutuom)
If as government, you provide the best school buildings, construct good roads or provide good drinking water while the people are unhealthy to use them, it becomes useless
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is the need to tackle other diseases as well least we forget that such diseases are also causing a health hazard to the people
We are not in normal times so we should not take chances but take proper care of our health”
He disclosed that people have been screened at the aforementioned communities respectfully saying eyes related cases, diabetes, High Blood Pressure, malaria, and others were screened with prescriptions given to them
“This exercise is a big relief because many people had not undergone medical check-up to know their state some did not know they have BP or diabetes only to realize after the screening. It has given them the opportunity to take proper care of themselves, they are going to put precaution measures to what they should eat or drink. I have been saying that healthy people make a wealthy nation so while providing development projects, we must also seek their healthcare delivery”

He therefore parsed the MP for organizing such event for the residents.
