Zoomlion Begins Disinfestation and Fumigation Exercise in Eastern Region
Zoomlion Ghana Limited has commenced a region-wide disinfestation and fumigation exercise across all 33 Municipal and District Assemblies (MDAs) in the Eastern Region. The exercise, which began on August 21, 2026, is scheduled to run until September 30, 2026.
The initiative, being implemented by Zoomlion’s Vector Control Unit in collaboration with the respective Assemblies, forms part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts to support public health and sanitation, particularly in the wake of recent flooding in parts of the region.
The exercise is targeting markets, schools, lorry parks, public places of convenience, refuse container sites and other identified high-risk areas where disease vectors such as mosquitoes, flies and other pests may breed and thrive. The intervention is aimed at reducing vector populations and helping to minimise the risk of outbreaks of cholera, malaria, typhoid and other communicable diseases.
Speaking at the launch of the exercise at Agartha Market in Koforidua, Zoomlion’s Eastern Regional Manager, Cynthia Gbadago, called on residents and market users to complement the exercise by maintaining high standards of environmental sanitation.
She urged the public to dispose of waste responsibly, avoid indiscriminate dumping and keep their surroundings clean to prevent the creation of breeding grounds for disease-carrying insects and other pests.
The exercise underscores Zoomlion’s continued commitment to supporting local authorities and communities in safeguarding public health, promoting environmental sanitation and creating cleaner, healthier and safer communities across the Eastern Region.
