Residents and members of the Soko Methodist Church at Laterbiokorshie in Accra on Saturday benefited from a health screening exercise.
The objective was for early detection of diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure and eye problems to enable them to seek early treatment.
Members of the church also donated blood to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Blood Bank.
The exercise formed part of activities marking the church’s 20th anniversary slated for September 30, 2012.
The anniversary is on the theme: “We are well able to overcome.”
Explaining the reason for the theme, the planning committee chairman, Mr Jonathan Abossey, said although the church was facing some spiritual, physical and material challenges, the church would surely overcome them.
He said the exercise would enhance the well-being of the members and the community to make them healthy enough to worship God.
He advised Ghanaians to be concerned about their health, exercise and visit the hospital regularly to examine their health so that they would always be healthy.
