Personage Limited, a company providing health-related services, has launched its well-being services and first product line that would help improve the country’s health system.
The product line, known as the ‘Wellness water filters’, comes in five forms.
They include the Wellness Sport Bottle, the Wellness Jug, the Wellness Kitchen, the Wellness Shower and the Wellness Home, all of which filter water before use.
The Executive Partner of Personage Limited, Madam Harriet Amissah- Arthur, said in her presentation that the well-being of an individual greatly depended on the individual’s ability of taking care of himself.
She defined ‘well-being’ as the state of being in good health most of the times, adding that “with Ghana’s under-resourced health system, we all need to actively participate in ensuring our well-being”.
“Water is the liquid essence of life, of health and of well-being whether we drink it, bathe or wash in it, and our body’s ability to perform at its best is absolutely dependent upon water,” she said.
Madam Amissah-Arthur said even though water was an essential commodity in the quest to ensure the individual’s well-being, it had harmful effects which should not be ignored, stressing that most people, including even those with knowledge of the harmful effects of chlorine and other chemicals in the water they drink, paid less attention to those negative effects.
She indicated that Personage Limited was established to provide well-being services to the public through education, encouragement and the availability of products that would motivate people to take active interest in their well-being.
“At Personage, we believe that well-being can be simply achieved for the vast majority of people,” she stated.
She finally recommended all individuals to the services of Personage Limited, especially the wellness water filters.
The Executive Director of Healthy Ghana, Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, pointed out that water was a second basic fundamental ingredient of life.
He expressed the need for quality water to improve on the health of the individual, adding that “water is fundamental to life as good health is because without water there is no life”.
The Head of the Department for Microbiology of the University of Ghana Medical School, Dr Patrick Ayeh Kumi, commended Personage Limited for their efforts and urged Ghanaians to take their health issues seriously.
