Shalom Indigenous Foundation, a Non- Governmental Organisation, in collaboration with The Bible Baptist Church has last monday donated items worth 6000 ghc to the 37 Military hospital and the Ghana Police Hospital in Accra as not only part of their corporate social responsibility towards giving back to the vulnerable, sick or poor in society but this time as simply, a gift for Xmas.

The items which includes eight boxes of Pap-smear, two wheel chairs, ten walkers, eight boxes of nose masks, and twenty crutches were distributed among the two hospitals simultaneously in equal proportion.

The Divisional Head Pastor of The Bible Baptist Church, Rev. Noah T. Quarshie, who made the presentation to the hospital authorities, noted the items were to serve as a gift for patients aiming to put a smile on their faces during this yuletide Season.

He urged the doctors and the patients to take good care of the items, adding the pap- smear is especially dedicated for the use of only women because they are noted to encounter cancer problems which will augur sanitization of their private parts.

“This is the contribution from a non-governmental organization to mother Ghana” he added.

 The Acting Director of Nurses Services Lt. Kernel Ivy Tamakloe who received the items on behalf of the 37 military hospitals thanked the donors for their  immense support towards the sick and the poor this season.

She noted that the 37 military hospitals is a national disaster management hospital which attends to a lot of patients who could not afford to pay their bills even in emergency cases, stressing the gesture will go a long way to assist most unfortunate ones who could not afford to buy crutches after having undergone surgical operations.

“We are grateful ones again for these gifts, I believe this will go a long way to enhance our good work, thank you very much” she added.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world. In the last century for instance, the world has been hit by six (6) different kinds of epidemics with devastating results on its economy, people’s health and social conditions. Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
