The Hospital Trust supports women’s self-care in IWD 2023
The Hospital Trust has celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) 2023 by calling on women to prioritize care and well-being, as it is essential to the well-being of society.
The event was themed ‘Total well women; women’s health conversation’, featuring a variety of speakers advocating for women to achieve equality without sacrificing their own well-being.
Chief Executive Officer for Strategic Communications Africa (Stratcomm Africa) Limited Esther AN Cobbah, who was the guest speaker at the event, emphasized the importance of self-care and urged women not to be complacent when it comes to health and well-being.
She notes that this is increasingly important as women juggle multiple responsibilities, including career, family, children, community involvement, and relationships, leaving them with little time or energy to take care of themselves.
“As women, our disadvantaged position can damage our health, physically, emotionally, mentally and psychologically as well as spiritually. Our theme is related to the general theme for this year’s IWD, embracing equity, the symbolism associated with holding our hands on our chest as an image strong to embrace ourselves that reminds us to take care of ourselves in the midst of all that we have to be responsible for, ” said Ms. Cobbah.
According to new research, women today are less content than they were four decades ago. Many experts cite the lack of free time as a key factor contributing to this trend.
Ms. Cobbah encouraged women to deliberately take a break for sanity and put themselves first among others, saying: “If we are healthy, the world will be good. If the caretaker is not good, the world is not good.”
Hospital Trust CEO, Dr. Juliana Oye Ameh, expressed her outfit’s commitment to increase opportunities for women to contribute to the growth of the organization and to achieve this year’s IWD theme ‘Embrace Equity’. This, he said, includes support for career development by enrolling female staff members in training programs.
“You can tell how the organization is going with the number of women in the team and at the Hospital Trust, we have more women than men and we’ve done it. This year’s IWD has been a call to action to accelerate gender equality. At the Trust, we give and will continue to provide the same opportunities.
We support women in their career development by enrolling most of our female staff in one form of training or another. We aim for greater inclusion and we strive to celebrate, recognize and appreciate all of you in your different roles,” said Dr.
Chief Medical Staff at the Trust Hospital, Dr. Nana Ama Abankwah, in her presentation on the topic of ‘Wellness for the Corporate Woman’, highlighted the challenges and potential opportunities that corporate women face, as well as solutions to some of these challenges. .
The event also included an interactive session where several participants discussed how they can rise to the top as women despite all their responsibilities. The speakers emphasized the importance of women empowering themselves and speaking up when needed, adding value to themselves, and developing their skills as they move up the corporate ladder.
