33,000 benefit from AngloGold’s free medical treatment since 2021

It has been established that about 33,000 people have benefited from AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine’s free medical outreach programmes under its Health Outreach Programmes since 2021.

The Community Relations Manager of the company, Mr. Edmund Oduro Agyei made this known at a mini clinic held at Odumase, in the Obuasi East District of Ashanti.

He noted that to complement the free screening and treatment, AngloGold was constructing ultra-modern health facilities with the state-of-art equipment and amenities in various communities in the Adansi enclave.

The Community Relations Manager said in furtherance of its objectives, AngloGold had refurbished and upgraded the Anyinam clinic to a health centre status.

Currently, he said, a health centre to serve New Dokyiwa/Binsere communities was under construction while expanding the Akrokerri Health Centre to include a newly constructed surgical theatre.

“Our free health screening and treatment today exemplifies our belief that quality health care should be accessible to everyone regardless of their circumstances.

“We understand that many people face barriers to accessing essential medical services and so it is our mission to break down those barriers and bring critical health resources directly to you,” he said.

Mr. Oduro Agyei expressed his appreciation to the company’s partners in the mini clinic, which included Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation, Quantum LC, Veolia, GIZ and Iris Titus Glover Medical Outreach.

The Obuasi East DCE, Madam Faustina Amissah, encouraged all citizens of Adansi to rally behind AngloGold so that it will continue to give the needed support towards the development of Adansi.

Kwantepenaa Kwamoa Bosompim II, Benkumhene and Regent of Odumase, in his remarks noted that the second coming of AngloGold has been a blessing to the entire people of Adansi, as they have witnessed tremendous developments.

He pledged the chiefs’ support towards the company’s continued success in the years ahead.
