Health Month in Ghana: Promoting Wellness at Trinity Foundation

Trinity Foundation: Global Servants in West Africa

In West Africa, Global Servants is known locally as Trinity Foundation, a ministry that has been serving communities in Ghana for decades through education, evangelism, and community development. At Trinity Foundation Anwomaso in Kumasi, health and wellness are not just annual concerns—they are a vital part of ministry and service to others.

The Birth of Health Month

A few years ago, the church aligned with a national health initiative and expanded it into what is now known as Health Month—a dedicated time each year to focus on physical well-being, preventive care, and education for church members and the surrounding community.

Early Efforts: Screenings That Saved Lives

Over the past few years, Health Month has grown into a comprehensive outreach program addressing multiple aspects of health. It began with breast cancer screenings for women from Trinity Foundation Anwomaso, Trinity Foundation Duase Prospect, and the general public. These screenings have helped identify early-stage conditions, and those diagnosed with lumps or other concerns received support and assistance through surgery—providing both medical help and hope.

Expanding Care and Community Outreach

Building on that success, the program expanded to include eye and Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) screenings, ensuring that members and local residents had access to quality preventive care. Once again, individuals needing further medical attention or surgical procedures were guided and supported throughout their treatment process.

Health Month 2025: Education, Prevention, and Access

This year’s 2025 Health Month continued that tradition with a strong emphasis on education and accessibility. The month began with a series of health talks covering topics such as dietary wellness for the working class, eye health, and the causes and prevention of heart attacks. These sessions provided practical knowledge to empower participants to make healthier daily choices.

Expanding Access Through National Health Insurance

To conclude the month’s activities, Trinity Foundation partnered with local health officials to assist community members in renewing or enrolling in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). This vital government program provides access to healthcare services across Ghana, and through this initiative, those whose insurance had expired—and even those who had never registered—were signed up to receive coverage.

Serving the Whole Community

The event was open to the entire community and drew an encouraging turnout from both church members and local residents. With each year, Health Month continues to strengthen the bond between Trinity Foundation and the surrounding communities, demonstrating the love of Christ through compassion, education, and service.

As one volunteer shared,

“Caring for the body is also part of caring for the soul. Through these health outreaches, we are showing God’s love in a tangible way.”
