The Lordina Foundation, led by First Lady Mrs. Lordina Mahama, has successfully conducted its seventh quarterly health screening program for retired ministers and their spouses of the Assemblies of God Church. This initiative provided essential medical services to over 160 beneficiaries from the Greater Accra East and West regions.

The program offered a comprehensive range of medical examinations, including blood sugar tests, blood pressure checks, Hepatitis B screening, eye examinations, prostate assessments, and cancer screening. Beneficiaries also received general consultations, medication, and health counseling. The event aimed to honor retired ministers who have dedicated their lives to serving God and their communities.

those who dedicated their lives to preaching and teaching deserved recognition, support and care in retirement.

This initiative fulfills a pledge Mrs. Mahama made at the association's launch in September 2024, committing to provide regular health support. The retirees received not only medical care but also breakfast, lunch, a bag of rice, and a cash donation, underscoring the foundation's commitment to their welfare.

Rev. Dr. Harry Nsaidoo, Chairman of the Retired Ministers and Spouses Association, expressed gratitude for the program, describing it as a significant source of relief and support. He highlighted the positive impact the Lordina Foundation's health screening initiative has had on the well-being of retired ministers since its inception.
