John Dramani Mahama 总统通过重启 "国家卫生日" 活动，重申了对环境卫生与公民责任的承诺，并阐述了这一倡议对国民健康、国家认同和经济发展带来的深远愿景。

Mahama 先生在启动仪式上表示，希望每月开展的清洁行动不仅能清除社区垃圾，更能重建责任共担与环保意识的文化传统。

"我们期待国家卫生日将助力实现以下目标。" 总统郑重宣布。他详细列举了该计划的核心任务：

• 提升全民意识，培养主人翁精神，鼓励全国范围的社区自主行动；

• 建立并维护定期清洁维护公私场所的常态化机制；

• 美化城镇风貌以增强国家自豪感与责任行为；

• 改善环境卫生实践，通过阻断疾病传播链降低疫情暴发风险；

• 通过塑造加纳清洁友好的形象，助推经济发展特别是旅游业增长。

总统将这项运动与加纳整体发展战略紧密关联，指出其与联合国可持续发展目标（SDGs）的高度契合。

"我坚信国家卫生日必将有力推动可持续发展目标的实现，特别是关乎健康福祉、可持续城市、清洁饮水和卫生设施、气候行动以及陆海生态保护的相关目标。"

他强调这是当代人对建设更清洁、更安全、更具韧性的加纳作出的集体承诺，功在当代，利在千秋。

修订后的国家卫生日将定于每月首个星期六举行，政府呼吁全体公民、地方机构、企业及民间组织积极参与。

Mahama Outlines Ambitious Vision for National Sanitation

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to environmental hygiene and civic responsibility through the relaunch of the National Sanitation Day, laying out an ambitious vision for its impact on health, national identity, and economic development.

Speaking at the launch of the National Sanitation Day, Mr Mahama expressed hope that the monthly clean-up exercise would do more than just rid communities of waste; it would, he said, rebuild a culture of shared responsibility and environmental consciousness

“It is our expectation that the National Sanitation Day will help us achieve the following objectives,” he declared.

He further listed a range of key goals the initiative aims to accomplish:

• Promote awareness, instil a sense of ownership and participation, and encourage community-led efforts across the country;

• Establish and sustain a culture of regular cleaning and maintenance of both public and private spaces;

• Enhance the aesthetic beauty of cities and towns to boost national pride and responsible behaviour;

• Improve environmental sanitation and hygiene practices, reducing disease outbreaks by breaking the chain of disease transmission;

• Support economic development, particularly in the tourism sector, by projecting Ghana as a clean and welcoming destination.

Mr Mahama linked the campaign directly to Ghana’s broader development agenda, noting its alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“I am fully convinced that the National Sanitation Day will in no small way contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those that prioritise health and wellbeing, sustainable cities, clean water and sanitation, climate action, and ocean and land conservation,” he stated.

He described the initiative as a collective commitment to building a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Ghana, not only for the current generation but also for generations to come.

The National Sanitation Day will now be observed on the first Saturday of every month, and citizens, local authorities, businesses, and civil society organisations are all being urged to take part actively.
