Indigenous Ghanaian pharmaceutical retailers comprising Gina Pharmacy, Orbasy Pharmacy and Chamalt Pharmacy and Medicare supported the outreach program.

The team’s leader, Dr Evans Nsoh Ayamdoo explained that Bunglung was selected because of its deprivation.

He lamented the lack of professional and skilled personnel needed to put to good use the CHPS compound there.

Mr Aremeyaw appealed to the Savelugu Municipal Assembly to connect electricity to the CHPS compound.
