ICU engages in health walk

The Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU)  of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Kumasi last Saturday put down their usual garb of agitation for better condition of service to engage in over four hours of health walk and  free medical screening.

The walk, which began from the popular Jubilee Park through Labour to some principal streets in the metropolis ended up at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium with a 30-minute aerobic exercise.

More than 600 health-conscious people, dominated by those from the banking sector, thronged the stadium where they were screened for all kinds of diseases.

A regional officer of ICU, Mr Simon Baba Alootey, told the Graphic Sports there was  a correlation between good health and productivity hence the need for the walk.

He said a fix time-table would soon be communicated to all members to make the exercise a  regular programme to improve on the health needs of members.
