The Ghana High Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to staff welfare by collaborating with the Ghanaian Doctors and Dentists Association UK (GDDA-UK) to organise a comprehensive health workshop for its staff on December 17.
The initiative formed part of the Mission’s ongoing efforts to promote preventive healthcare and overall well-being among personnel.
The workshop provided practical guidance on maintaining physical and mental health, with medical professionals from GDDA-UK engaging staff on key health issues and lifestyle choices.
Participants were encouraged to adopt proactive approaches to wellbeing as part of both their professional and personal lives.
Addressing the session, High Commissioner H.E. Mrs. Sabah Zita Benson expressed appreciation to GDDA-UK for its continued support to the Mission and the Ghanaian community in the UK.
“We are grateful for your unwavering commitment to the health of our staff and the wider Ghanaian diaspora,” she said, urging staff to “take deliberate steps to prioritise both their physical and mental wellbeing.”
Mrs. Benson further noted that the High Commission intends to expand the initiative beyond the Mission.
“Our goal is to scale up this programme and extend similar health workshops to Ghanaian community groups across the UK,” she stated, adding that a healthy workforce remains central to productivity and effective service delivery.
