Salvation Army health institutions receive vehicles

Accra, July 12, GNA - The Territorial Commander of the Salvation Army, Colonel Charles Swansbury and his wife Denise Swansbury, have presented three Pick-Up vehicles worth 101,694 dollars to three health institutions in three regions.

The health institutions belonging to the Salvation Army Church, would receive the vehicles through the Church in Ghana. 

The Salvation Army World Service office (SAWSO) of the United States of America donated the vehicles to support health delivery services in Ghana.

The institutions are the Salvation Army Clinic at Agona Duakwa in the Central Region, the Salvation Army Clinic at Anum in the Eastern Region and the Urban Aid Clinic in the Greater Accra Region.

Making the presentations to the Church on Friday at its head office at Osu in Accra, Col. Swansbury expressed satisfaction about the good work the Salvation Army had done over the years in Ghana and promised to further promote and support the health needs of Ghanaians.

The Territorial Commander said the Church could not remove healing from its activities since the leader of Christianity, Jesus Christ, never passed any sick person without healing him or her.

He said the vehicles were meant to facilitate the movement of the staff of the clinics in the discharge of their duties.

The Chief Secretary of the Church in Ghana, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Kwao Oklah and his wife, Mrs Philomena Oklah, receiving the vehicles on behalf of the health institutions, thanked the donors and said they would contribute to make the work of the health staff easier.

He said the Church would ensure that the managers of the health institutions took good care of the vehicles to make them to last longer. GNA
