In rural Ghana, access to basic healthcare services remains a significant challenge for many communities. The One King Executive Fancy Club and Jelvis Foundation are working to bridge this critical gap through comprehensive health screening initiatives that bring medical care directly to those who need it most.
Understanding the Need
For many Ghanaians living in rural areas, the nearest health facility might be hours away. This distance, combined with financial constraints, often leads to delayed medical attention or no treatment at all. Our health screening program aims to address these challenges head-on.
