Some of the beneficiaries thanked them for the love shown them and added, it was a good step in the Right direction because most of them don’t know they are sick but with the opportunity given them, it had exposed them to know their health status.

For her part, Patricia Achiaa Boakye, the NPP UK Women Organizer also said, they thought about the well-being of residents of Tinkong that is why they flew from UK to Ghana to give them such health benefits.
