On Wednesday 19 July 2023, the Ghana Air Force provided assistance to the John A Kufuor Foundation and the Ghana Medical Relief by airlifting their medical supplies to Tamale.

The supplies, which include drugs, gloves, detergents, thermometers and wheelchairs, were being sent to the Northern part of Ghana to organise the foundation’s annual medical outreach programme.

The medical outreach, which is scheduled to take place in Tamale from Monday 24 July to Friday 28 July 2023, will provide free medical care to people residing in Tamale and its environs.

In an interview with Mr Samuel Brobbey, Project Manager, Ghana Medical Relief, he disclosed that the medical outreach aims at providing access to healthcare for people who would otherwise not be able to afford it. 

He added that through the collaboration with the John A. Kufuor Foundation, they will provide free consultations, screenings and education on health and wellness and hence encouraged the citizenry to take advantage of the medical outreach programme.

Mr Brobbey expressed his gratitude to the Ghana Air Force for the assistance. He said it was a significant boost to the health mission and it will help to ensure that many people in Tamale have access to essential medical care.
