The Axim Area of The Church of Pentecost has commissioned and handed over a fully furnished VIP ward to the Axim Government Hospital, in a demonstration of its commitment to community transformation and healthcare support.
The facility, named the Pentecost Ward, was solely funded and constructed by the Axim Area of the Church, led by Apostle Daniel Mireku Gyamera, at the cost of GH₵193,413.00.
The commissioning ceremony took place on Friday, May 15, 2026, at the premises of the hospital.
The Pentecost Ward comprises two fully furnished private rooms designed to provide comfort, privacy, and dignity. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, refrigerator, television set, water heater, tiled flooring, adjustable bed, bedside drawers, and wardrobe.
Speaking on the theme, “Building the Kingdom Through an Unleashed Faith,” Apostle Daniel Mireku Gyamera urged Christians to demonstrate active faith that brings transformation to society.
Drawing from James 2:14–24, he distinguished between “dead faith,” which is inactive and unproductive, and “active faith,” which produces tangible impact in communities. He further referenced Acts 10:38, emphasising that the impact of true faith must be visible, felt, and experienced in people’s lives.
Apostle Gyamera expressed gratitude to all stakeholders and appealed for proper maintenance to ensure long-term benefit of the facility to patients.
The Western Regional Health Director, Dr Marian Okoh-Owusu, expressed deep appreciation to The Church of Pentecost for the intervention, noting that the facility brings dignity to both patients and health workers. She also encouraged the public to verify health-related information before dissemination to uphold professional ethics and confidentiality.
The Municipal Chief Executive for Nzema East, Hon. Herbert Kuah Dickson, commended the Church for the initiative and urged the hospital authorities to ensure proper maintenance and effective use of the facility.
Representing traditional authorities, Abusuapanin Kyi Sam of Upper Axim commended the Church’s contribution to development and called for unity among stakeholders, while also raising concerns about staffing and maintenance of the facility.
