Health News of Friday, 30 March 2018Source: Starrfmonline.comGolden Star Resources supports Preventive Health ServicesFile photoThe Ghana operations of Canadian mining giant, Golden Star Resources together with four other partners are to establish eight Prevention Health Units (PHU) at all government hospitals and Health compounds in its catchment areas in the Western region. The PHUs will become the focal point for the Ghana Health Service to promote and extend preventive health service for host communities for improved health outcomes. Thus providing access to Preventive Health Services will be critical in creating awareness of these risks to reduce the burden on health systems. The partners are Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Ghana Health Service, Breast Care International and AEL Mining Services. In November 2017, Golden Star Resources’ Breast Cancer Awareness program was awarded with the Corporate Social Investment Project of the Year during the coveted Ghana Mining Industry Awards.
