What is Operation HEAL?
Operation HEAL is an annual event held every December in Ghana, focusing on women's health and wellness. This initiative addresses the challenges of accessing medical care in Ghana by providing essential healthcare services to the community for free.
In December 2022, Operation HEAL benefited approximately 140 women in the Madina community with free health education, screenings, and hygiene supplies.
In 2023, the event expanded to Tamale, reaching over 350 women and girls with free education and feminine essentials, including menstrual pads and postpartum supplies.
The target population for Operation HEAL includes young school girls of puberty age, pregnant women, and mothers of children with cerebral palsy.
By focusing on these groups, we aim to address critical health needs through educational sessions, complete with question-and-answer segments, and provide much-needed support.
The resources raised during this campaign will expand the life changing impact of the organization on the women, girls, and communities it serves.
"NONE of the essentials that we need for long-term homecare or monthly menstrual cycles are included in government aid or social welfare assistance in Ghana.
There is currently no policy for full-time caregivers that has been passed by parliament in Ghana.
Imagine being a full time caregiver of a child with a disability and not being able to purchase basic hygiene supplies such as diapers or soap because you don’t have the financial resources to do so.
Now, imagine every single caregiver of a disabled child in Ghana being able to walk into any market and seeing that everyday essentials are a part of government funded programs.
Our mission would allow women and girls to attend school, maintain jobs and alleviate barriers to their daily life by having access to essentials that most take for granted each day.
Let’s imagine what our community could look like if every woman and girl has access to what she needs to live a dignified life.”
