Tema, Sept. 15, GNA – Workers of Thai Union,
operators of the Pioneer Food Cannery in Tema, on Saturday embarked on a
massive clean-up exercise at the Tema General Hospital.
The clean-up exercise which forms part of
the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility of ensuring good and
clean working environment across all facets of the national economy, saw over
80 workers sweeping and cleaning the Children’s ward, the Emergency and
Accident Centre in addition to clearing bushes on the hospital’s compound.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency
after the exercise, Mr. Samuel Kissi Boateng, Employment Relations Manager,
Pioneer Food Cannery Company, noted that, it was imperative that corporate
organisations always gave back to society.
Mr Boateng added that his outfit had over
the years benefited tremendously from the people of Tema, hence the need to
ensure that the company contributed its quota to the well-being of residents.
He explained that, Tema General Hospital was
the biggest referral hospital in and around the Tema Metropolis, saying that
keeping the hospital clean and functional should not be the responsibility of
the staff alone.
He said organizations, especially the
corporate ones must support the hospital in whichever way they could.
The Employment Relations Officer added that
the Pioneer Food Cannery was considering incorporating the clean-up exercise on
its calender.
Nurses of the hospital sensitised the
workers on Hepatitis B as well as the ongoing polio mass immunization exercise
in the Greater Accra Region.
