Adidome (V/R), May 6, GNA – Mr Guggisberg Fiagbenu, Assembly Member for Adidome Central Electoral Area, has underscored sanitation as a key development priority, reaffirming his commitment to promoting a healthy environment within the Adidome enclave.
He said maintaining a clean and hygienic environment was essential for safeguarding public health, improving living standards and supporting effective service delivery, especially in critical public institutions.
Mr Fiagbenu noted that healthcare facilities required sustained attention to environmental sanitation to ensure the safety of patients, health workers and visitors.
In line with this, he has initiated plans for a community clean-up exercise at the Adidome Government Hospital to improve sanitation and enhance the facility’s physical condition.
The exercise is scheduled for May 9, 2026, from 0600 hours to 0900 hours.
In a formal communication to the Medical Superintendent, Mr Fiagbenu said the initiative aimed to strengthen community participation in maintaining public infrastructure while complementing efforts by health authorities to ensure a clean and safe healthcare environment.
Activities will include clearing overgrown vegetation, removing debris and general clean-up of identified areas requiring urgent attention.
He said youth groups, residents and other stakeholders were being mobilised to participate, in line with his vision to position Adidome among the cleanest district capitals in the country.
Mr Fiagbenu appealed to hospital management to support the exercise by helping identify priority areas and, where possible, providing tools such as rakes and cutlasses.
He expressed optimism that the initiative would improve sanitation at the facility, strengthen collaboration between the hospital and the community, and promote a sustained culture of cleanliness and shared responsibility.
Copies of the communication were forwarded to the Environmental Health and Sanitation Unit and Mr Dodzi Addison Mornyuie, Central Tongu District Chief Executive, for their attention and support.
