Residents of Abuakwa and surrounding communities witnessed a significant milestone in healthcare delivery as Jimah Labs Diagnostics and Imaging Centre officially opened its doors to the public with a free health screening exercise.
The event attracted healthcare professionals, community leaders, dignitaries, and hundreds of residents who took advantage of the free medical screening services.
Chief Executive Officer of Jimah Labs Diagnostics and Imaging Centre, Dr. Philip Gyapon Gyimah, reaffirmed his commitment to providing accurate, affordable, and quality diagnostic and imaging services to the people of Abuakwa and beyond.
He noted that the establishment of the modern laboratory is aimed at improving access to quality healthcare while supporting doctors with timely and reliable laboratory investigations.
The occasion was graced by the mother of the CEO, Madam Juliana Adutwumwaa, Chief Executive Officer of Adutwumwaa Herbal Industries, who urged residents of Abuakwa to make their health a top priority by undergoing regular medical check-ups.
“Good health is our greatest asset. I encourage everyone in Abuakwa to visit Jimah Labs regularly for routine health screening and early detection of diseases. Prevention is always better than cure,” she emphasized.
Municipal Disease Control Officer, Saddick Adams Agyare, urged staff of the facility to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, confidentiality, and ethical conduct in the delivery of healthcare services.
According to him, maintaining quality service and patient-centred care would earn the confidence and trust of the public.
The Assembly Member for the Abuakwa Electoral Area also appealed to residents to patronize the services of Jimah Labs whenever healthcare providers request laboratory investigations.
He explained that increased public support would enable the facility to expand its operations and establish additional branches across the district, thereby making quality diagnostic healthcare more accessible to surrounding communities.
The event received support from medical professionals from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and SDA Hospital, Kwadaso, who joined the Jimah Labs team to provide free health screening services, including blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing, health education, and medical consultations.
Many beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the initiative, describing it as timely and beneficial, while commending the management of Jimah Labs for investing in quality healthcare services within the Abuakwa community.
