The Outreach Team of the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) has organised a free community health outreach at Taviefe - Sreme, a community near Ho, in commemoration of Togbe Dr. Kpegba Agbakpe I, Afetorfia of Taviefe-Sreme. Togbe Agbakpe, known in private life as Dr. Prince Rockson, is also a Member of the Hospital's Board.
The outreach was in commemoration of the first anniversary of his installation, which coincided with the climax of the community’s Yam Festival celebration. It drew hundreds of residents including the aged, women and children, and formed part of the Hospital's corporate social responsibility and its commitment to taking quality healthcare beyond the walls of the facility to underserved communities.
The team, comprising doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and public health officers, provided a range of free
services including blood pressure and blood sugar checks, general medical consultation, health education,
and dispensing of essential medicines.
Residents who benefited from the screening expressed gratitude to the Hospital and to the Afetorfia for the
humanitarian exercise.
The elders of Taviefe - Sreme commended HTH for the kind gesture and appealed for more of such outreach
programmes to help in early detection and management of non-communicable diseases.
They also lauded the Board Member, for his thoughtfulness in commemorating his personal celebration with a
life-saving activity for his people, describing it as worthy of emulation.
