Past projects

HOGF, since its inception, has provided assistance to individuals to undergo surgical operations, MRI Scans, and also has embarked on medical screening and donation exercises in support of societies, especially farming communities where less attention is paid to health status until a critical and emergency health condition is at hand.

It has also made itself relevant in the lives of many community members through its interactive health and outreach programs which seek to discuss topical health issues such as Hypertension, Hepatitis, Breast Cancer, and Diabetes among others.

For instance last year, one hundred and fifty (150) persons at Fankyiniko, a suburb of Nsawam were screened on the four (4) mentioned diseases and counseled after being screened. This was to raise awareness and conscientize them on these ‘silent killers’.
