In a heartwarming demonstration of corporate social responsibility, the Medical CDS Group recently visited Bethlehem Orphanage, where they provided essential healthcare, education, and joy to over 50 vulnerable children. 

This outreach initiative was aimed at enhancing the well-being of the children and improving their overall quality of life. The team of healthcare professionals conducted free health screenings, identifying and addressing various health issues faced by the children. 

Through interactive sessions focused on hygiene, nutrition, dental care, and disease prevention, the children were equipped with essential knowledge to promote a healthy lifestyle. The Medical CDS Group also donated vital medical supplies to bolster the orphanage’s healthcare facilities.

Trained counselors were present to provide psychological support, addressing the emotional well-being of the children. 

During a media discussion, the president of the CDS highlighted the importance of these outreach activities and the positive impact they have on the community. The response from the orphanage was overwhelmingly positive. 

The administrator of the orphanage remarked, "The Medical CDS Group's visit was a godsend. Our children received much-needed medical attention and emotional support."

The impact of the outreach was significant, with reports indicating that 90% of the children received medical attention for the first time. Following the health education sessions, there was an 80% reduction in common illnesses among the children. The morale and emotional well-being of both the children and caregivers saw notable improvement, and each child received free gifts to brighten their day. Among the volunteers was Miss Ofofon Okon Eyefoh, who shared her experience, stating, "Seeing the smiles on the children's faces after receiving medical care was incredibly rewarding. It reinforces our commitment to giving back to the community."
