Kumasi, July 1, GNA - The Ashanti Region branch of the Ga Dangbe Association on Friday undertook a clean-up exercise at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi as part of the Republic Day celebration.

Members of the association numbering about 100, scrubbed the floors, swept and removed cobwebs at the main ward of the hospital. Mr Albert Nartey, chairman of the association said the exercise, which is the first to be undertaken by the association forms part of their contribution to the social development of the region and enhancement of cleanliness at the hospital.
