In a remarkable display of community commitment, the Rastafari Council, Ghana (RCG), successfully conducted a free health screening exercise at the MUSIGA headquarters in Accra.

This initiative was part of the activities marking the 10th National Rastafari Conference, which took place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Center for National Culture (Arts Centre) in Accra.

Established in 2009, the Rastafari Council, Ghana, is dedicated to promoting the teachings and legacy of Emperor Haile Selassie I and advocating for the upliftment of Rastafari in Ghana.

The council comprises various Rastafari mansions, including the Ethiopian World Federation (EWF), Twelve Tribes of Israel (TTI), Ruutz International, and Baifikrom Nyahbinghi House. Through cultural events, educational programs, and community outreach, it seeks to uplift and unite the Rastafari community and all those who appreciate the values of peace, love, and unity.

This year's conference was themed "Rastafari Education and Empowerment: Building Stronger Communities." The theme reflected the council's commitment to fostering a stronger, more inclusive community that values health, education, and cultural heritage.

The keynote speaker for the conference was Prof. Imhotep Alagidede, President of the Nile Valley Metaversity and Group of Companies, following in the footsteps of esteemed speakers like Ras Dr. Wayne Rose, who addressed the 9th National Rastafari Conference on the topic of "Political Consciousness: A Key Requirement for National Development."

Royal Kofi Asante, Administrator of the Rastafari Council, Ghana, emphasized the organization's dedication to the health and well-being of its community. "At RCG, we believe that health is a fundamental right, and it's our responsibility to give back to our community. This health screening exercise was a testament to our commitment to ensuring that Rastafarians and the broader community have access to essential healthcare services."

The free health screening event was open to the public and provided comprehensive medical consultations, promoting overall well-being and raising awareness about the importance of preventive healthcare. This initiative underscored the Rastafari Council's mission to foster a healthier and more supportive community.
