Padre Pio Rehabilitation Centre Recruitment for Cook

Applications are invited from interested and suitably qualified candidates for Padre Pio Rehabilitation Centre Recruitment for Cook.

Padre Pio Rehabilitation Centre – Prior to the 1940s there was absolutely no cure for leprosy, people were literally rejected from their community.

In the 1940s, a treatment was developed that could arrest the spread of the disease in the body. To dispense this treatment, a Leprosarium was built in Ankaful, near Cape Coast, on government land, the only hospital of it’s kind in Ghana. Soon, word spread and patients arrived.

People who have had Leprosy are perhaps among the most disadvantaged people in our society. Not only does the disease leave them disfigured and disabled but also the stigma of Leprosy leaves them with an inability to return to their villages. Treatment was long-term, often up to 15 years. Patients were allowed to “squat” on hospital land and establish temporary shelters made with mud and straw.

This area became known as Ankaful Camp. Residents lived with great hardship, usually disabled and disfigured, shunned by the healthy, unable to work, threatened by floods and droughts and exiled from their families and villages.
