Lordina Foundation Supports Over 160 Retired Ministers with Seventh Quarterly Health Screening

The Lordina Foundation has successfully conducted its seventh quarterly health screening for the Retired Ministers and Spouses Association (RMSA) of the Assemblies of God Church, benefiting over 160 retirees across the Greater Accra East and West regions. The initiative, which has become a cornerstone of the foundation's community service efforts, provided comprehensive medical care to those who have dedicated their lives to spiritual and community leadership. Former First Lady Mrs. Lordina Mahama personally oversaw the exercise, reinforcing her long-standing commitment to the welfare of the elderly and the vulnerable within the Ghanaian society.

During the screening event, beneficiaries received a wide range of free medical services, including professional health consultations, counseling, and diagnostic screenings for various conditions such as Hepatitis B and abnormal blood pressure. Beyond the immediate medical assessments, the foundation also provided essential medications to participants to help manage their health conditions. This holistic approach ensures that the retirees do not only receive a diagnosis but also the necessary tools to maintain their well-being in the months following the exercise.

The Chairman of the Retired Ministers and Spouses Association, Reverend Dr. Harry Nsaidoo, praised the foundation for its consistency and the high quality of care provided. He noted that the regular nature of these screenings provides a vital safety net for retired clergy, many of whom might otherwise struggle to access routine medical check-ups. To complement the health services, Mrs. Mahama also presented each participant with bags of rice and cash gifts, addressing the socio-economic needs of the retirees alongside their physical health requirements.

This latest outreach underscores the Lordina Foundation’s broader mission of social responsibility and its focus on the 'aged' as a priority demographic. By bridging the gap in healthcare access for the elderly, the foundation continues to demonstrate the impact of private social interventions in supporting national health goals. The retirees and their families expressed profound gratitude for the initiative, noting that the consistent support from the foundation has significantly enhanced their quality of life and sense of belonging during their retirement years.
