Prioritize Health Over Wealth with Regular Check-Ups -- GIS Officers Cautioned

A senior nurse at the Ghana Immigration Clinic, Assistant Superintendent of Immigration (ASI) Esther Enimwaa Apenteng, has advised security personnel, particularly Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) officers, to prioritize their health and well-being over wealth. Speaking at a Retirement and Health Talks Symposium and blood donation exercise organized by the 7th intake recruit group of the Ghana Immigration Service in Accra, ASI Apenteng emphasized that security personnel often compromise their health for financial gain, which can lead to premature death.

She urged GIS officers to prioritize their health, emphasizing that while the service can replace personnel, individual health is irreplaceable. ASI Apenteng delivered a comprehensive health talk to GIS officers, covering crucial topics including prostate cancer prevention, sexual health awareness, and managing menopause challenges.

She also emphasized the importance of healthy eating habits, advising officers to avoid late-night eating, focus on nutritious foods like vegetables and fruits, limit sugar intake, and avoid energy drinks and sweet treats.

The Secretary of the 20th Anniversary Planning Committee, ASI Bismark Ofosu, explained that the health symposium was organized to educate the 7th intake recruit group of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) on maintaining good health. The goal is to empower officers, particularly those nearing retirement, with knowledge to enjoy their post-service life in good health and condition.

Deputy Superintendent of Immigration (DSI) Harriet Aba, Vice Chairperson of the Planning Committee, emphasized the importance of security officers prioritizing their health and well-being. She noted that while the service can easily replace personnel, individual health is crucial and should be a top priority.
