It provides a free and accessible medical platform, equipped with highly skilled healthcare professionals who provide essential primary care and preventive services,” Prophet Danso stated.
In addition to the supplies, he said, more than 6,000 Bibles were also distributed adding that “EWC believes that these initiatives have the potential to create a ripple effect, manifesting positive change in our community for generations to come.”
