Beginning next month, the newly packaged and improved Vodafone’s Healthline programme on television is back to take health information and access to healthcare to a different level.

Publicly acknowledged as the most impactful health programme to hit TV screens in the country, this year’s edition is promising a unique approach to captivating audiences across the country.

Vodafone’s Healthline programme has significantly contributed to changing the lives of Ghanaians since its debut some ten years ago. It has gone about its business by providing Ghanaians with expert health information and advice that have encouraged and empowered them to take control of their lives.

“Healthline on TV remains the ultimate reflection of what we mean by a commitment to social good and purpose,” Gayheart Mensah, External Affairs Director said in a statement issued by the company.

“Healthline has a voice. It speaks to the needs of the average Ghanaian who cannot afford basic access to healthcare delivery. People with next to impossible medical conditions are catered for through highly complex surgeries that have the power to sway mankind,” he said.

Director of Consumer Business, Pushpinder Gujral, said: “We cannot wait to start airing this amazing programme on TV. We believe in a commitment to the communities in which we live and work. Access to healthcare information is a fundamental issue for the average Ghanaian and Healthline is the answer.”

The one-hour 13-episode multi-award winning series will cover topics such as bones and joints, pregnancy, mental health, hypertension and diabetes. Additionally, it will interact with some of Healthline’s past beneficiaries to find out how their lives have been impacted by the programme.

Since 2011, Healthline continues to address the health concerns of Ghanaians through free surgeries, education and entertainment.
