Thousands of residents in Berekum and surrounding communities in the Bono Region are expected to benefit from a massive free medical outreach spearheaded by Ghana Medical Relief (GMR), a humanitarian nonprofit organisation based in Ghana and the United States.

The outreach, scheduled from Monday, July 21 to Friday, July 25, 2025, will deliver essential health services in general medicine, paediatrics, urology, dental care, ophthalmology, and obstetrics and gynaecology, alongside health education, NHIS registration, and free medications.

Organisers say they are targeting at least 8,000 patients across the region, continuing GMR’s mission to make healthcare accessible to underserved populations.

“Our goal is to reach those who would otherwise go without basic medical care,” the group said in a statement requesting media support for awareness and coverage.

Since its inception in 2018, GMR has delivered similar outreach in Asiakwa, Anomabo, Atibie, Agogo, Tamale, and Bortianor, serving thousands of patients.

The organisation’s 2024 mission in Bortianor alone served over 5,200 people and facilitated NHIS registration for 2,500 others.

Fully volunteer-driven and donor-supported, the project aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
