Church of Pentecost renovates Kandin Health Centre
The Yendi Area of The Church of Pentecost, headed by Apostle William Kojo Edzorhoho, has renovated the Kandin Health Centre in the Tatale-Sanguli District of the Northern Region.
The renovation, which cost the Church a total of GH¢10,143, was part of the Church’s social responsibility to give back to society. The facility was in a dilapidated state following a rainstorm which ripped off the roofs and destroyed part of the structure six years ago.
At a colourful ceremony held on Wednesday, 11th April, 2018 at the health centre, the Church officially handed over the renovated facility to the chiefs and people of the community.
The health centre serves over 10,000 people from 22 neighbouring communities. It will also serve an estimated 2,496 women in fertility age.
According to the Tatale-Sanguli District Director of Health Services, Mr. Mohammed Abdulai, The Church of Pentecost is the first religious organisation to support and improve healthcare delivery in the history of the district.
