Accra: A team of nine volunteer doctors and nurses from Greece has arrived in Ghana to provide free medical services to communities across the country from August 28 to September 10, 2025.

According to Ghana News Agency, the medical mission is organized by the Holy Orthodox Archdiocese of Accra under the blessing of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa. This humanitarian effort is being conducted in partnership with Ghana's Ministry of Health, the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Greek Consulate in Ghana, and local Orthodox parishes.

The visiting medical team consists of specialists including general practitioners, surgeons, ophthalmologists, internists, and nurses. They have brought with them 22 suitcases filled with donated medicines collected in Greece, which are intended to be distributed freely to those in need.

The communities scheduled to benefit from this initiative include Gomoa Fomena, Tema Newtown, Lapaz, Larteh Akuapem, Akim South, and Akim Breman. The services offered will encompass free consultations, pharmaceutical support, preventive examinations, and educational seminars on hygiene and first aid.

His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel of Accra, has encouraged the public to take advantage of this mission, describing it as "a gift of compassion, open to all regardless of race, nationality, or religion."
