Mcbrown who turns 45 tomorrow, Monday, August 15 registered 700 children and 1000 adults.

Arrival
On arrival at the Beposo M/A Park in her Lexus 4X4 vehicle, the United Showbiz host born Felicity Ama Agyemang was immediately mobbed by her fans including old women, some of whom have known her since her infancy.
Wearing a body-hugging wine dress teamed with a pair of black sneakers and a gold anklet to match, Mcbrown waved at the crowd with smiles and hugged some old women.
The youth especially were just smitten with her. They virtually fell over each other to hug as well as take pictures with their idol.
Mcbrown with the support of her foundation–McBrowns Foundation– and partners, served hot meals, and drinks and presented products she represents as brands ambassador.
“This is part of my social corporate responsibility. This is where I grew up and it’s only fair and proper that I give back to my people,” she told Graphic Showbiz. (https://ausoma.org)
“Every two years, my Foundation does something new for the society. This time, I just want to register my people to have access to the NHIS card.
“It’s not expensive. It’s GHS 26 but its benefits are enormous. I have experienced it and I can testify. My NHIS came handy to supplement my bills when I had to operate on my shoulder which developed a fracture after a motor accident,” she added.
According to Mcbrown, she has decided to embark on a personal campaign to hook a lot of people onto the card starting from Kwadaso. She promised to continue with the registration process and assist the needy.
A Senior Manager of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Ashanti Regional office, Mr. Isaac Asare, commended the actress for the gesture.
He said there were still a lot of people without the card which was an indication that people were still struggling to raise the needed funds to register.
Mr Asare urged other individuals and corporate Ghana to assist people within their communities to get a lot more people hooked onto the card.
