This initiative aims to prevent disease outbreaks amidst a severe water crisis affecting the Agona West, Agona East, and Gomoa Central Districts, enhancing sanitation and public health in the region.
According to Ghana News Agency, the management indicated that the exercise was part of proactive health and sanitation measures designed to protect residents from potential infections, as the water shortages have exacerbated hygiene issues in the area.
