Held in Accra, the event forms part of the Foundation’s continuous commitment to promoting the well-being of retired clergy through regular medical screening, fellowship, and essential health support across the Greater Accra East and West Regions.

Mrs. Mahama expressed heartfelt appreciation to the visiting First Ladies, describing them as “inspiring sisters” whose presence reflects deep solidarity and sisterhood.

“I am deeply grateful to my two inspiring sisters for their unwavering support and encouragement. Together, we are making a meaningful impact. Thank you, Your Excellencies, for gracing us with your presence. May God bless you abundantly,” she said.
She reaffirmed the Foundation’s guiding philosophy that “the more we share, the more we have,” noting that the quarterly screening exercise continues to touch countless lives.

Chairman’s Reflections Highlight Purpose of the Event

Ahead of the gathering, the Chairman of the Lordina Foundation, Pastor Boateng Sarpong, shared internal reflections that underscored the significance of the 5th and final screening session for the year.

In his message, he expressed deep gratitude to the retired ministers and their spouses for their faithful participation throughout all previous editions. He emphasized that each programme has been a moment of encouragement, fellowship, and mutual appreciation—values at the heart of the Foundation’s work.

Pastor Sarpong also paid glowing tribute to the medical team, applauding their professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication. According to him, their commitment has ensured the smooth execution and success of each quarterly outreach since the programme began.

He further issued a formal welcome note for the event, outlining its spiritual and humanitarian purpose: to provide health support, strengthen bonds within the retired clergy community, and reinforce the Foundation’s mission under the leadership of Mrs. Lordina Mahama.

His closing remarks called for continued prayers for Mrs. Lordina Mahama, her husband HE John Dramani Mahama, and their family. He also expressed gratitude for “the grace that has carried the Foundation” through yet another successful year of service, culminating in the 5th screening for 2025.

The Chairman’s reflections, shared through internal screenshots, highlighted a deep sense of appreciation—for the medical professionals, the retired clergy, and the Foundation’s leadership—whose collective efforts sustain the initiative.

The quarterly initiative, held at the Ringway branch in Accra, provided essential health consultations and free medication to support the retirees’ well-being.

First Lady Mrs. Lordina Dramani Mahama launched the initiative following a pledge she made during a church event in September 2024. The screening featured specialists including urologists, gynecologists, dietitians, opticians, and general practitioners.

Participants received laboratory tests covering key health indicators such as blood sugar levels, Hepatitis B, prostate health, and certain cancers. They were also given prescribed medications.

Speaking to attendees, Mrs. Mahama said the third edition builds on the successes of the first and second screenings held in November 2024 and March 2025. She urged retirees to take full advantage of the services and to follow their prescribed medications faithfully.

She said the initiative was part of the Lordina Foundation’s effort to support individuals who have dedicated their lives to service.

She also informed beneficiaries about the upcoming Ghana Medical Trust Fund, also known as “Mahama Cares,” and encouraged those with chronic non-communicable diseases to register when it becomes operational.

She explained that the fund is designed to cater to health needs not fully covered by the National Health Insurance Scheme and will offer preventive care at the community level.

Reverend Dr. Harry Insaidoo, President of the Assemblies of God Retired Ministers and Spouses Association, expressed gratitude.

“To us, it was one of the biggest and the most exciting moments for us, as every three months, the doctors will thoroughly examine you, and thereafter, they will give you medication,” he said. “Not only that, they will also offer pieces of advice on how to live a good and healthy life.”

He thanked both Mrs. Mahama and President John Mahama, who are members of the church, describing the intervention as enormous.

Mrs. Mahama also commended the dedicated medical team for their hard work and appreciated the leadership of the Assemblies of God Church, particularly Reverend Benjamin Teye Tettey, Head Pastor of the Ringway Gospel Centre, for graciously providing the venue for the quarterly clinics.

In addition to regular donations, Mrs Mahama has also in the past facilitated the presentation of a vehicle and started work on an accommodation and skills training facility for the camp.

On Friday, the Foundation visited the camp and presented food and essential items to beneficiaries of the Go Home Project.

After the presentation, Board Secretary Priscilla Santuo-Ocrah extended warm greetings from the Foundation’s President.

“Mama Lordina loves you all and is always ready to support you to ensure your comfort,” she added.

Madam Santuo-Ocrah emphasised that the Foundation’s motto, “The more we share, the more we have,” is its guiding principle.

The foundation believes in sharing its resources to bring smiles to as many faces as possible.

“I know these items will not solve all your problems, but I believe they will make a significant difference,” she noted.

The items presented included bags of rice, cartons of cooking oil, canned tomatoes, malt drink, fruit juice, milo beverage, bottled water, Tom Brown, Gari mix, spaghetti, tissue paper, and detergents.

Each beneficiary also received a piece of cloth and a bar of chocolate.

The coordinator for the Go Home Project, Reverend Gladys Lariba, expressed excitement and thanked Mrs Mahama for the donation and support.

She acknowledged that Mrs Mahama and her foundation have played a critical role in running the camp over the years, with regular donations occurring two or three times a year.

She mentioned that an accommodation facility started before the last National Democratic Congress left office had been abandoned.

She expressed hope that work would resume soon to provide the women with decent and dignified housing while they waited to reintegrate with their families.

Reverend Lariba also thanked the Foundation for providing a vehicle that assisted them with their sensitisation programmes and transporting beneficiaries to access healthcare and other needs.

She also called for the implementation of the Anti-Witchcraft Bill, which was passed a few years ago, to sensitise Ghanaians and prevent further instances of elderly women being expelled from their homes due to witchcraft accusations.

The “Go Home Project” is an initiative of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana aimed at correcting the stigmatisation of elderly women in the “Gambaga witches camp.”

The donation on Tuesday, December 17 2024, forms part of her long-standing tradition of sharing with the less privileged in society over the past two decades.

The items included bags of rice, cartons of cooking oil, canned tomatoes, beverages such as Milo and Nido, spaghetti, boxes of Tom Brown, sugar, biscuits, drinks, toffees, tissue paper, detergents, and sanitary pads, among other things others.

Mrs Mahama has contributed to the development of deprived children and women in rural and urban areas by promoting quality health care, education, and general well-being.

The Lordina Foundation has adopted orphanages across the country, which it supports with food and non-food items. It also appreciates the staff of the homes.

A board member of the foundation, Pastor Samuel Boateng Sarpong presented the items on behalf of Mrs Mahama and conveyed her goodwill message to the children and staff of the two homes.

The Home Manager of Osu Children’s Home, Mr Reindorf Dartey, expressed their excitement for the pre-Christmas donation, noting that the facility has consistently received support from the Lordina Foundation and the Mahama family.

“In my six years here, we have always looked forward to hearing from our mother, Mrs. Lordina Mahama, during the festive season, so we are very happy you have come here today,” he stated.

Mr Adu Amoako, Manager of Christ Faith Foster Home, also thanked Mrs Mahama for consistently including them in her Christmas plans.

He took the opportunity to extend seasonal greetings to Mrs Mahama, and her family, praying that the new year brings them joy and many smiles, just as they have brought to the motherless and fatherless in their facility.

At least twice a year, including December, the Lordina Foundation presents donations to selected orphanages across the country to celebrate the Christmas season with the less fortunate in society.

The programme, financed by the former First Lady through the Lordina Foundation, fulfils a September 14th pledge to organise a quarterly exercise for retired pastors of the church and their wives.

Services provided include laboratory tests for blood sugar levels, Hepatitis B, and prostate health. There were also medical consultations with urologists, gynaecologists, dietitians, opticians, and general practitioners.

The foundation provided free medications to those who were required to purchase drugs. Rev. Kwame Sarpong Boateng, a board member of the Lordina Foundation, said the initiative aims to alleviate concerns about the medical welfare of retired ministers and their spouses.

He highlighted some of the Foundation’s charitable initiatives, including regular support and donations to orphanages, widows, and the elderly, construction of maternity and children’s wards in three regions, provision of medical supplies to health facilities, assistance to artisans and other impactful social projects.

Rev. Sarpong Boateng commended Mrs Mahama for her thoughtfulness and innovative approach to addressing social challenges.

Dr. Padiki Derban, leader of the medical team, applauded the initiative, noting that some members of the Association may not be able to afford certain medications due to their high prices, making the initiative a timely and beneficial intervention.

Reverend Professor Kwesi Krereko, the immediate past president of the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, a beneficiary of the programme, said it provides a vital lifeline for retired ministers and their spouses. He believes that the programme will enhance healthcare for the members and extend their lives after active service in the ministry.

The association’s president, Reverend Dr Harry Insaidoo, was amazed at the thoroughness of the screening, adding that he did not anticipate such a detailed and comprehensive service.

“This kind of screening would cost a fortune if we had sought care at a medical facility. The prices for some of the medications provided for free at this event are very high. Receiving all these treatments and medications at no cost is incredibly heartwarming. It is a delight to see one of our own supporting the retired servants of the gospel,” he stated.

Reverend Dr Insaidoo explained that many members who are on pension struggle to afford their medications because of their high costs, making the Lordina Foundation initiative particularly divine.

Mrs Lordina Dramani Mahama, who interacted with the medical team and the beneficiaries, expressed her excitement about the turnout and hoped that future events would be even more successful.

The support forms part of efforts to enhance the health centre’s capacity to deliver quality care to the community.

The items included: 10 hospital beds, 2 delivery beds, 2 overbed tables, 2 wheelchairs, a fridge, 2 baby cots, 2 baby cribs, 2 baby carts, 4 boxes of gloves, 1 box and 6 packs of syringes, 1 baby scale, 5 pairs of Crocs, 1 box of gauze, and 2 boxes of theatre gowns.

In a short address, Mrs. Mahama expressed the foundation’s commitment to supporting quality healthcare.

“In a country where quality healthcare often seems out of reach for many, our presence here today and the donations we are making are meant to bring hope.

“These beds and equipment, donated on behalf of my foundation, are necessary to promote comfort and healing in this health facility,” she said.

Mrs. Mahama, wife of the NDC Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama, emphasized the shared belief that healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location.

“This is a testament to the belief my husband and I hold—that everyone, no matter where they live, deserves the highest quality healthcare.

“By equipping our local clinics with these essential supplies, we are taking a meaningful step toward bridging this gap. We are working to make healthcare not a privilege for a few, but a right for everyone.”
