Stakeholders in the health sector today gathered at a WASH Advocacy event to discuss the critical role of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in human development, quality healthcare, and improved patient outcomes.

The event, themed "Enhancing WASH in Healthcare Facilities – The Way Forward for Ghana," aimed to drive change by leveraging opportunities, and fostering cross-sector partnerships. The goal was to ensure safe and affordable access to quality healthcare, including WASH, waste management, and electricity services.

Additionally, the event sought to raise awareness of key barriers and priority issues and mobilize action to sustain advocacy efforts for scaling up WASH infrastructure and services in healthcare facilities across Ghana.

Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, the Director of the Public Health Division, represented the Director-General of the Service. He emphasized that improving WASH in healthcare facilities is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3.

He highlighted that collaborative efforts have led to successful WASH interventions in healthcare facilities, such as those in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region, and initiatives by the Kalvio-Gugoro advocacy group in the Upper West Region.

The Service calls for stronger collaboration, sustained investments, and inclusive partnerships to ensure that every person receives quality care, regardless of their location.

The event was chaired by the Honorable Member of Parliament for Lambussie and a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health, Professor Titus Beyuo.

In a strategic move to foster a stronger relationship between the Service and media organizations, the Director-General of GHS, Prof. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea, has paid a working visit to the New Times Corporation (NTC).

The visit was aimed at establishing a mutually beneficial partnership that will ensure the regular dissemination of health promotion messages through NTC’s platforms. This initiative is part of the Service’s broader commitment to educating and informing the public on prevailing health issues and concerns across the country.

Prof. Kaba Akoriyea emphasized the crucial role media organizations play in health education and expressed optimism that the collaboration would help bridge the information gap on key health matters, ultimately contributing to improved public health outcomes.

He was warmly received by the Managing Director of NTC, Mr. Martin Adu- Owusu, along with other senior management members of the Corporation, including the Editor. Discussions centered around content collaboration and ways to align health messaging with national development goals.

Accompanying the Director-General were the Acting Director of the Health Promotion Division, Mr. Mabel Kisiwa Asafo, and the Head of the Public Relations Unit, Mr. Jacob Acquah Andoh.

This visit marks a significant step toward a more integrated approach to health communication, leveraging the power of the media to enhance public awareness and encourage healthy lifestyle.
