  "summary": "The Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSGH) and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) have collaborated to provide healthcare relief to over 900 vulnerable residents in the Upper West Region of Ghana, including students affected by recent natural disasters. The joint medical outreach, which took place in Kamahegu and Jirapa Senior High School, enabled free NHIS registrations and renewals, as well as free health screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, and malaria. The gesture aims to support the government's Free Primary Health Care policy and ensure vulnerable people can access necessary medical care without financial barriers.",
