Organized by Norsaac, in collaboration with the Health Promotion division of the Ghana Health Service, the 3-day health fair which took off on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, is set to facilitate connections with local health providers through practical demonstrations on using healthcare commodities and accessing services to improve health status.
Kwame Agyeman, emphasized the importance of adopting positive health behaviours for a healthier life. He highlighted the importance of regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep. He also stressed the importance of personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. The health fair will be held on Saturday, 27th of October, 2023, at the University of Ghana, Legon Campus.

This statement highlights a critical gap in our understanding of health and its connection to social and economic factors. It underscores the importance of addressing this gap to improve health outcomes and empower individuals and families. The statement also suggests that health-seeking behavior is not solely driven by individual factors like illness or perceived need.
