The Health Ministries Department promotes the health and well-being of Church members and the community at large. It seeks to encourage the quality of life factor that, sadly, is so often missing.
Church members are encourage to adopt a healthy diet and abstain from injurious drugs and alcohol.
The same Health Secretaries also arrange health programmes for the community. These include Stop Smoking and Stress Management programmes which meet the felt needs of people in all walks of life and often give them their first introduction to Seventh-day Adventists. The Church at a national and regional level co-operates with other religious and secular agencies whose aims are similar to our own. This united platform helps to bring about desirable changes in society that enable us to meet our health objectives. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has always had a holistic approach to health in that it regards the spiritual life as one of the important dimensions of being.
