A little over seven hundred people in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis yesterday benefited from a free eye screening exercise from the Ghana Commercial Bank’s noble gesture of giving back to the resident in Takoradi.
The Effiakuma Roman Catholic Church in Takoradi was this
morning packaged with hundreds of people within the sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis
and its environs coming to participate in the GCB free eye screening exercise in
Takoradi.
Residents
were taken through basic eye tests, provision of spectacles and drugs at no
cost. Free medication and eye glasses were provided to those with minor eye
conditions while those with serious defects were referred to respective
specialist clinics within the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.
7
ophthalmologists, 10 physician assistants as well as 20 volunteers from the
Bank helped in the exercise yesterday.
According the
Western and Central Regional Manager of Ghana Commercial Bank, Mr. Martin Yaw Abofra,
the project forms part of GCB’s
corporate social responsibility which was partnered by the Third Eye Care and Vision
Centre.
He mentioned that this is the first in the health series for
the people of the western region and entreat their customers to keep up the
relationship they have with the bank.
Staff of GCB
took the opportunity to educate residents on the need for healthy savings and
investing for their future.
Some of the
residents also took the opportunity to open accounts with the Bank while others
commended GCB for bringing their eye care project to their door step.
