The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has commended The Church of Pentecost for making available the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) as an isolation and treatment centre for COVID-19 patients.
In a speech delivered during the Virtual May Day (Workers’ Day) celebration on May 1st, 2020, the President said: “The nation is profoundly grateful to The Church of Pentecost for the generous, Christian gesture of making available its multipurpose Convention Centre at Gomoa Fetteh, as an isolation centre which can house over one thousand (1,000) persons and three hundred (300) medical staff.”
Following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on April 23rd, 2020, between the Church and the Government of Ghana, the multi-purpose convention facility was released to the Government to be used as an isolation and treatment centre for persons infected with the viral disease.
The move was part of the Church’s efforts in assisting the government to contain, curb the spread and eradicate the Coronavirus pandemic as well as promote the recovery of persons who test positive for the disease.
