Staff of the newly established Pentecost Hospital in Bolgatanga have been urged to uphold Christian values, pursue excellence, and align their service with the Church’s ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda.
This call was made during a one-day orientation held on September 16, 2025, organised by Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS).
The session brought together key church leaders and professionals, including the Director of PENTSOS, Pastor Benjamin Asare Yeboah; Bolgatanga Area Head, Apostle David Amankwaa; Dr Kwame Adjei Amoafo, Head of the hospital, and other dignitaries.
Delivering the keynote address, Apostle Amankwaa encouraged staff to “eschew mediocrity and pursue excellence in all aspects of service,” referencing Hebrews 11 and Philippians 4:8. He remarked, “Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,” and emphasised that excellence is “not perfection, nor genetic, but the courage to be different” (Numbers 14:24).
He outlined four pillars of excellence: Desire, Discipline, Dedication, and Determination.
Speaking on Christian stewardship, Apostle Amankwaa noted that the Christian life is “value-driven” and “principle-based,” stressing that faithfulness is essential in any position of responsibility.
Apostle Amankwaa described Pentecost Hospital, Bolga, as a model of “pro-poor, compassionate, and efficient Christian healthcare,” and encouraged the team to stand out in a region where quality care is urgently needed.
The PENTSOS Director, Pastor Benjamin Asare Yeboah, reminded staff that Pentecost Hospital is, first and foremost, a missions hospital, and that everything they do must ultimately serve Christ and the Church’s mission.
He advised them to see their daily duties as ministry, calling for a spirit of sacrifice and a commitment to high standards.
Dr Phoebe Ohene Kwatia, a medical practitioner at the facility, outlined the hospital’s scope of services, which align with district-level healthcare delivery. She emphasised patient-centred care, clinical ethics—autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—and adherence to best practices through guidelines, audits, and continuous learning.
PENTSOS Human Resource Officer, Mr Emmanuel Aziieku, spoke on workplace ethics, encouraging professionalism, loyalty, and non-discrimination, while Elder Joseph Apuseyune highlighted the importance of cultural sensitivity, noting that it fosters trust and enhances community impact.
The Bolgatanga Area PENTSOS Coordinator, Overseer Benjamin Owusu Ansah, traced PENTSOS’ 46-year development legacy and reaffirmed that although the hospital operates under the Ministry of Health and CHAG, it remains a PENTSOS trust institution. He urged staff to embody the core values of love, dignity, and efficiency.
The orientation ended with a renewed commitment from staff to serve with distinction.
