The Okyenhemaa Nana Adutwumwaa Dokuaa has called on Ghanaians to embrace health and sanitation as the most important roles of every citizen to ensure behaviour change in the country.

She said, we have to make all efforts to clean our communities and avoid littering to ensure we are not infected with sickness.

Nana Dokuaa made the statement at the celebration of her 15th anniversary clean up exercise on the theme:’’ A clean environment a healthy people" at kyebi.

She encouraged Ghanaians to be cautious of the food they eat and urged them to exercise regularly and constantly go for routine checkups to have a good lifestyle that would make us healthy and enhance our wellbeing.

She urged Ghanaians to support the national sanitation day exercise, adding that, there is the need to promote the spirit of love, unity and tolerance as a country.

Mr. Simon Peter Asirifi, Municipal Chief Executive for East Akyem, said the only way to rekindle the dead communal spirit, is to embrace the national sanitation day exercise and make it sustainable.

Mrs. Maria Donchebe, Chairperson for Coalition of NGO`s in water and sanitation (CONIWAS) urged the public to change attitudes towards bad sanitation practices, adding that, we must exhibit our past communal spirit that existed as Ghanaians.

Mr. Emmanuel Akom, Project Manager of ARocha, Eastern Region, observed that, with education the sensitization on bad practices of sanitation would be overcome.
