“The initiative is a collaboration between Low Country Healthcare Volunteers and the Brunswick (GA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated.”
Nungua is buzzing with excitement as it welcomes a vibrant 40-member medical team from Georgia, USA, for the second time in two consecutive years.
Beyond their medical mission, their visit brings a unique opportunity for cultural and intellectual exchange. These passionate visitors will connect with the community, fostering lasting bonds and enriching shared experiences. This dynamic collaboration is poised to inspire new possibilities.
The program, set to be held at the Zimmerman Presbyterian Church Clinic in Nungua, Greater Accra Region, will run from March 24 to March 27, 2025.
Dubbed “Medical & Dental Missions 2025,” the initiative is a collaboration between Low Country Healthcare Volunteers and the Brunswick (GA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated.
Heading the team in their mission to give back to society are Dr Mark Clayton, Dr Shirley Wilson, and Dr Seth Borquaye.
The group will take care of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Audiology, and Dentistry.
Dr Samuel Borquaye, spokesperson, revealed in a media chat that the 2025 mission stems from unfinished efforts in 2024. Over 1,200 people in the Nungua area received free medical and dental care, including three months supply of medication in most cases and referrals for follow-up. Several patients received dental treatments, including extractions.
According to him, the team is projecting an impressive turnout of between 2,000 and 2,500 attendees this year. In response to this anticipated growth, they have doubled the number of practitioners.
Ms. Dorothy Adiaba, group coordinator, has been unwavering in her commitment to driving the operation forward. Her relentless dedication and strategic vision have been instrumental in ensuring everything runs flawlessly.
