As part of efforts to support community health and improve aged care, Royalhouse Chapel International, Dunamis Temple, Cape Coast, donated a brand-new front desk table and signboard to the Eyifua Aged and Home Care Services.
The gesture done on Saturday, July 26, 2025, which also included a general clean-up exercise at the facility, forms part of the church’s broader corporate social responsibility initiatives aimed at enhancing public welfare through faith-driven action.
According to the Head Pastor of the Church, Reverend Thomas T.M. Nartey, a personal experience of his exposed the dire condition of the facility, motivating that kind gesture to the facility.
The Head Pastor of the church, Reverend Thomas T. M. Nartey, explained the motivation behind the donation, citing a personal experience that exposed the dire condition of the facility.
“Some few months ago, I was here with my daughter for some checkups and I noticed the state of the reception, especially one table that caught my attention. While I was thinking of how to help, one of the nurses approached me and confirmed they needed support because this is a new station they have started. I took it up with my church leaders and, thankfully, they agreed,” Rev. Nartey told ATFM News.
The new office desk is expected to enhance administrative efficiency, improve client reception, and boost coordination of care, while the signboard will help make the facility more visible and accessible to the public, especially the aged and vulnerable.
Beyond the donation, the church organized a clean-up exercise; weeding and clearing debris around the facility to restore a clean and healthy environment.
Rev. Nartey emphasized the importance of investing in community welfare and urged the public to think beyond individual support and consider the collective good.
He argued that supporting an individual or a home ‘benefits a few’ adding that supporting a health facility as the Eyifua Aged and Home Care Services, impacts the entire community.
“You don’t need millions to help. Even painting or providing an air conditioner can make a difference. The value of a person is not in how much money they have but in how many lives they influence positively,” he continued.
The Metro CHPS Coordinator,Aaron Essuman who represented the Cape Coast Metro Health Directorate at the event expressed gratitude to the church for its timely intervention.
He noted that gestures like this not only ease the burden on the health sector but also motivate health workers and bring much-needed services closer to under served communities.
“Royalhouse Chapel has donated key materials to our CHPS compound, and we believe this is a major step toward improving healthcare delivery and expanding our coverage. Health is for all, and this kind of partnership really reflects that principle. Support from churches and the public significantly enhances health coverage and service quality,” he indicated.
Mr. Essuman revealed that the long-term vision is to transform the facility into a dedicated aged health centre where caregivers can bring their elderly relatives for day care services while they attend to their daily responsibilities.
“We want to create a system where families can bring their aged parents here, and our nurses will care for them during the day. We’ll also offer home services through calls,” he said.
The Metro Health Directorate, according to him, is also introducing “My Health Online”, a digital health support platform that will enable residents to receive medical consultations and medications remotely.
He added that several infrastructural upgrades are required to fully realize this plan, including fencing the facility, boosting security, and painting the building to create a dignified and safe environment for the elderly.
He urged the public to offer their support saying “We’re building a secure, tech-enabled aged clinic that meets modern healthcare needs.”
The donation and clean-up exercise were met with appreciation from the community and health staff, who expressed hope that more faith-based organizations and philanthropists would emulate the gesture.
The Eyifua Aged and Home Care Services, though relatively new, is gradually becoming a key hub for elder care in the Cape Coast Metropolis.
