The Chief Executive beliefs that eating food that contains the essential nutrients such as vitamins, iron among others has the probability of reducing our risk of sickness.

The DCE made this known at the maiden launch of Ghana health Service GIFS program in the district at Akumadan Senior High School on Wednesday 3rd April, 2019.

According to the District Director of Health for Offinso North, Mr. Richard Avagu said the Iron Folic Acid Supplement is a food supplement that boosts the immune system to reduce anaemia which is a second killer disease in the country.

In declaring the program duly launched, Mr. David Kwasi Asare charged the GHS in the district to undertake enough education to ensure that the food supplement is administered rightly to achieve its predetermined objectives.

He thanked the GHS for the initiative.
