Health Screening for UTAG and GAUA Members

23 Mar, 2021 By DIS

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG-UCC), in collaboration with the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA-UCC), and the University of Cape Coast Health Services, has organized a week-long health screening programme for all Senior Members in the University. The programme was intended to form a medical opinion of the health status of UTAG and GAUA members.

The president of UTAG-UCC, Dr. Samuel Bert Boadi-Kusi, explained that UTAG-UCC had observed that many Senior Members had hectic schedules, leaving them with limited time to avail themselves to thorough medical examinations at the University’s health facility. “We brought together a team to take their samples and run vital laboratory tests that will help our medical doctors to form an impression on each of our members”, he said.

Dr. Boadi-Kusi indicated that when the results of the laboratory tests are ready, members would be referred to doctors from both the UCC Hospital and the School of Medical Sciences for further discussion on their health status. “Based on the results, we expect that key interventions will be put in place to help prevent health conditions that are preventable and provide treatment for other ailments”, he noted.

He encouraged his colleagues to avail themselves and participate in the health screening initiative. He also called on University Management to support and collaborate with the Unions to hold the Health Screening programme yearly.

Dr. (Mrs.) Eunice Fay Amissah, Vice-President of UTAG-UCC, entreated all members to take advantage of the exercise to know their health status. She said the health screenings included lipid profiling, full blood count, liver and kidney function tests, breast screening, pap test for women, and prostrate test for men.

In an interview with Mr. Eric Agyenim-Boateng, an Accountant at the Directorate of Finance, he said, “I have not taken these tests since last year, but today, I received some education regarding my health and I would like to see the University take up this initiative and have it conducted more often”.
