The Upper West Regional Branch of Zoomlion Ghana Limited has carried out a large-scale disinfestation exercise across the region to reduce the population of disease-transmitting vectors during the festive season. <\/p>\n

\"Zoomlion<\/figure>\n

The exercise, which ran from December 9 to 22, 2025, targeted public toilets, communal garbage sites, refuse dumping areas, as well as educational and health institutions across all eleven districts.<\/p>\n

Ayamga Anabire Ezekiel, the Upper West Regional Vector Control Officer, said the initiative was carried out with support from the municipal and district assemblies. <\/p>\n

\u201cOther places which could potentially harbour houseflies, mosquitoes, and other disease-transmitting vectors were also disinfested during the exercise,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n

He added that the effort aimed to prevent outbreaks of cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, and other vector-related diseases, noting that environmentally friendly insecticides were used to safeguard public health.<\/p>\n

In addition to the spraying activities, Zoomlion embarked on intensive community sensitisation campaigns to educate residents on proper sanitation practices. <\/p>\n

The awareness drive sought to empower the public to maintain clean environments and minimise the risk of sanitation-related illnesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
