The Rotary Club of Accra – Ring Road Central (Club No. 23653)
Free Eye Screening and Provision of Spectacles
RRC organized free eye screening exercises and provided corrective spectacles to beneficiaries. This exercise was conducted in collaboration with Rotary Eye Institute, India. This initiative improved vision health, enhanced productivity, and significantly improved the quality of life for recipients.
National Blood Donation Exercises
The club regularly participates in national blood donation exercises to support Ghana’s healthcare system. These drives have helped save lives by increasing the availability of safe blood for emergency and routine medical needs. The exercise achieved over 2,800 donors in 10 Regions across Ghana over the span of 12 days.
Pediatric Diabetes Screening Projects
The 2-day CPD Paediatric diabetes screening and treatment project successfully screened over 300 persons in Accra, Tamale and Kumasi. (in conjunction with RC Hoppers Crossing, Australia) RRC conducted pediatric diabetes screening programs aimed at early detection and awareness among children and families. These screenings helped promote early intervention and long-term health management.
Construction of Berekuso Community Clinic
One of RRC’s flagship health projects is the construction of the Berekuso Community Clinic. The facility provides essential healthcare services to the local population, reducing travel time to distant hospitals and improving access to quality care.
COVID-19 PPE Distribution
During the COVID-19 pandemic, RRC supplied personal protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare facilities and frontline workers across the nation with a focus on orphanages such as Agboloshi community/Kressner orphanage. This intervention supported infection prevention efforts and safeguarded healthcare professionals and patients.
