The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri and Minority Chief Whip, Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has launched a major public health intervention aimed at improving access to eye care services for about 3,000 residents of the constituency, marking one of the largest community-based medical outreaches in the area in recent years.
The initiative, dubbed the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Eye Care Project 2026, is being implemented in collaboration with the Columbia Union Conference in the United States.
The two-day outreach, held on Saturday, 28th February 2026 at the Methodist Astroturf in Djankrom and 1st March 2026 at Adoagyiri, brought together medical professionals, volunteers, and community members in a large-scale free screening exercise.
Doctors and health workers screened residents from Nsawam and Adoagyiri for various eye conditions, including cataract and pterygium, while also checking vital signs and providing basic medication where necessary.
The programme attracted massive participation, with people of all ages — children, youth, elderly men and women, turning out in large numbers to access the free services.
Beyond screening, beneficiaries also received consultations, medical advice, and referrals for further treatment, making the exercise both preventive and curative in nature.
Addressing residents during the programme, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh explained that the project targets the screening of at least 3,000 constituents.
He announced that beneficiaries who require corrective lenses will be provided with free glasses, while those diagnosed with serious eye conditions will undergo free surgical operations later in the year.
According to him, the surgeries are scheduled for June 2026 and will be carried out at Valley View University, using its medical facilities and specialist support.
The eye care project forms part of the MP’s long-standing focus on community welfare and social intervention programmes in Nsawam-Adoagyiri.
Over the years, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh has supported health, education, and youth empowerment initiatives, positioning constituency development not only in terms of infrastructure but also human capital and wellbeing.
His approach reflects a broader development philosophy that prioritises access to essential services as a foundation for long-term socio-economic progress.
Beneficiaries of the programme expressed deep appreciation to the MP and his partners for the initiative, describing the outreach as life-changing for residents who could not afford eye care services.
Many noted that early diagnosis and treatment would significantly improve their quality of life, productivity, and general health.
Interacting with beneficiaries, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh also used the platform to connect health development with political continuity, urging residents to rally behind him and the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2028 general election.
He argued that sustained leadership and political stability were essential to expanding social intervention programmes and accelerating development in the constituency.
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri Eye Care Project 2026 stands as a blend of public health outreach, community development, and political engagement, reinforcing Mr. Annoh-Dompreh’s profile not only as a legislator but as a constituency-based leader focused on practical interventions that directly impact the lives of his people.
