West Akyem Presby Discusses Health Related Issues

Reverend Emmanuel Yaw Adjei, chairman of the West Akim Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has appealed to the public to get involved in the promotion of primary health care.

Rev Adjei said this at the presbytery’s 13th anniversary at Akim Oda.

He said the development of every nation largely depends on the health status of the citizenry. 'I want to add my voice to the numerous calls made to help change the attitude of our general lifestyles.'

Rev Adjei appealed to chur-ches, district assemblies, traditional authorities and non-governmental organisa-tions to embark upon education and awareness campaigns.

He said the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is a laudable programme and appealed to people to register massively for the scheme.
