A Vision for Community Health

Hon. Muntaka Mubarak’s initiative has received widespread commendation for bridging the healthcare access gap and promoting preventive health awareness, especially among vulnerable populations.

“This program is not just about treatment,it’s about saving lives, early detection, and giving hope to people who might otherwise not afford such care,” a member of the organizing team noted.

The MP’s annual outreach has become one of the most impactful community health programs in the Ashanti Region, aligning with national efforts to promote early diagnosis and universal health coverage.
