Very Reverend Aaron Gaisie-Amoah, Minister-in-charge of Tema Saint Paul’s Methodist Church, on Saturday urged religious organisations to encourage their members to take sanitation issues serious to reduce the risk of contracting communicable diseases.
He said religious organisations must properly portray that “cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
Very Rev. Gaisie-Amoah was addressing the members after a cleanup exercise at the Tema General Hospital and presentation of medical items worth 5,000 Ghana cedis to the hospital as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the church.
The items include a patient trolley, five wheelchairs, 30 boxes of disposable syringes, 10 boxes of disposable gloves, 100 pieces of bed sheets with pillow cases, two cartons of bar soap and 10 gallons of disinfectants.
They weeded the hospital compound, removed cobwebs, cleaned louvers and scrubbed some wards.
Very Rev. Gaisie-Amoah stressed the need for the public to undertake periodic communal labour to clean their communities or they could even construct small drains in front of their houses to reduce flooding.
He advised them to refrain from littering the streets and disposing of their refuse indiscriminately.
Miss Janet Antwi, Principal Nursing Officer of the hospital receiving the items expressed appreciation to the members and assured them the items would be well utilised.
