In response to the recent challenges caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage, the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), has stepped forward to support affected communities and flood victims, who are currently grappling with the devastating aftermath of the disaster.
The Akosombo Dam spillage, which occurred recently, has left a trail of destruction, causing significant hardship and losses for countless families. The UPNMG says it is committed to actively taking part in the recovery and rehabilitation activities.
In a press statement, the union called on local and national authorities, humanitarian organisations, and the international community to unite in providing immediate relief to those affected, while also working together to formulate plans for the long-term recovery and reconstruction of the affected regions.
UPNMG stated that it has not merely offered words of support but has also taken concrete actions.
“The Union is actively mobilising resources, including financial assistance, relief materials, and the deployment of volunteer healthcare workers, to support the ongoing relief efforts, the statement said.
The UPNMG says it is extending its appeal beyond its own members to individuals, corporations, and organizations, urging them to join in the relief and rehabilitation efforts.
UPNMG maintains it is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to provide relief and has called on all health workers who are currently on their annual leave and willing to volunteer their time to provide essential health support to the flood victims.
“Arrangements have been made to transport these volunteers to the affected locations, ensuring they can provide the much-needed assistance where it is needed most,” the statement said.
