Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Vodafone Ghana Foundation has launched its annual Homecoming initiative at the Tema General Hospital.<\/b><\/p>\n

With a history spanning over a decade, Homecoming is a charitable initiative aimed at settling medical bills and auxiliary costs for indigent patients across the country.<\/p>\n

Since its inception in 2011, the programme has successfully discharged over 2,000 insolvent patients, enabling them to return home without the burden of unpaid medical expenses.<\/p>\n

This year, the Homecoming initiative will continue its impactful work, with the goal of discharging about 200 patients in hospitals across the Northern, Middle, and Southern belts of the country.<\/p>\n

The programme will be executed in three phases, reflecting the successful model of previous years.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, Preba Greenstreet, Legal and External Affairs Director said, \u201cThe Vodafone Ghana Foundation is committed to promoting health and wellbeing under our connected health pillar. This ensures that eligible patients are not denied access to essential healthcare due to their financial constraints. We are excited to continue our mission of making a positive difference in the lives of our fellow Ghanaians through the Homecoming initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working with its implementing partners, he said, the 2023 Vodafone Ghana Homecoming initiative would collaborate with major hospitals to identify eligible patients and cover their medical bills, providing them with the opportunity to return home to their communities and families.<\/p>\n

The interim Director and Clinical Coordinator of the Tema General Hospital, Dr. Augustine Kwarshie, appealed to other corporate entities to adopt the Vodafone Ghana Foundation\u2019s approach to resolving insolvency issues in healthcare facilities in the country.<\/p>\n

Appreciating the efforts of the foundation, he further advised the public to take advantage of the National Health Insurance Scheme to lessen the financial burden on the hospital\u2019s welfare and institutions like the Vodafone Ghana Foundation, which provides support.<\/p>\n
