Accra, Aug. 19, GNA - Nii Awuley Ahaiku VI,
Kwashieman Mantse, has called on Ghanaians to report to health centres
immediately they fall sick to avoid complications and expensive treatment
charges.
Nii Ahiaku made the call when the Ahiaku Family, under
the Sempe Stool, registered 700 people free of charge under the National Health
Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
The family also offered free medical screening for the
people at Kwashieman, a suburb of Accra.
The exercise formed part of activities marking the
celebration of this year's Homowo Festival of the chiefs and people of
Kwashieman.
Nii Ahaiku advised Ghanaians to seek quality medical care
from the healthcare centres anytime they were sick and desist from
self-medication which could bring about complications.
The Kwashieman Mantse also called for the active
participation of the people in sporting activities to enable them to live
healthy lives.
On the political scene, Nii Ahiaku urged politicians to
demonstrate a high level of tolerance to ensure that there is always peace in
the country.
He said Ghanaians acknowledged the desire of politicians
to serve their country but they should not do anything that would hinder the
peaceful coexistence of the people.
Nii Ahiaku commended the people in the community for
embracing peace over the years and expressed the hope that this year's Homowo
would be celebrated peacefully.
Nii Kpakpo Saamuah I, Mankralo of Kwashieman , urged the
youth to be law-abiding and desist from engaging in electoral malpractices.
