Vodafone Healthline calls for questions ahead of Season 4

Multiple award winning television programme, Vodafone Healthline is urging Ghanaians to send in their questions on various health conditions to the short code ‘1788’ across all networks. The questions from will drive and inform the content for the entire 13 episodes which airs soon on various local television networks.

Vodafone Ghana’s Healthline, since it was launched in June 2011, has made a huge impact across all ten regions of the country.  A few weeks ago Vodafone Ghana announced fans of the programme had contributed over GHC 15,000 to support the programme. The TV show which is aimed at empowering Ghanaians by giving them access to health information, has not only brought credible and reliable health information into their homes, it has also saved tens of lives across the country, by sponsoring the treatment of many patients who were in need of urgent medical care, but could not afford it. Some of the patients were even flown abroad for their surgeries.

Vodafone Healthline Television series remains the most awarded Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in Ghana, having won 12 local and international awards, including CIMG Television Programme of the Year for two years in a row.

The success of Healthline informed the introduction of Healthline  255, a medical Call Centre, run by doctors and nurses and powered by the world’s best triage system, which guarantees accurate medical advice. Healthline 255 is the first of its kind in Africa and provides expert medical advice to people in need of quality healthcare from the convenience of their phones. It opens daily from 4pm to 10pm including Sundays and public holidays.
