  "account": "Tymcoin Pharmacies has inaugurated a 24-hour pharmacy branch in Odumase-Krobo, providing residents with access to pharmaceutical services and medicines outside regular working hours. The facility, situated in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, aligns with the government's 24-Hour Economy Programme, aiming to boost productivity, employment, and economic growth by encouraging businesses to operate beyond typical hours. Dr Emmanuel Matey Philansmith, CEO of Tymcoin Pharmacies, highlighted that the initiative supports the government's vision and demonstrates the company's dedication to enhancing local health services. He stated that the company, which operates branches across Ghana, opened the new branch to bring essential pharmaceutical services closer to residents, offering access to medicines and healthcare facilities during non-traditional hours when most pharmacies are closed. The inauguration also marked a community health screening exercise that drew over 2,000 participants, who were tested for various conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, malaria, typhoid fever, and hepatitis. Dr Philansmith expressed concern over some residents' elevated blood pressure and blood sugar levels, emphasizing the importance of regular health checks and early detection to manage medical conditions. He pledged that the company would continue to support residents' health needs by improving access to pharmaceutical services, further contributing to the private sector's role in delivering essential services under the 24-Hour Economy Programme.",
