Softcare FM Manufacturing Limited announced its support for the Ministry of Health’s initiative to translate nursing and midwifery research into practical community solutions during the 7th Annual Nursing and Midwifery Leaders and Managers Conference. The company’s announcement followed remarks by Deputy Health Minister Professor Dr. Grace Ayensu Danquah, who urged nursing leaders to bridge research, policy and practice in advancing Ghana’s Free Primary Healthcare programme.
Softcare’s management said the company’s role as a hygiene manufacturer extends beyond production. By aligning with the conference’s theme, “Bridging Research, Policy and Practice in Nursing and Midwifery to Advance Free Primary Healthcare in Ghana,” the firm aims to demonstrate how private‑sector innovation can complement the national health strategy.
The company used the platform to launch its newest brand, Allround Pull‑Up Pants, Ghana’s first locally manufactured pull‑up diaper range. Designed to close a gap in baby care, the product offers mothers a convenient option while prioritising infant comfort and safety. Features include a 360‑degree stretch waistband, high absorbency and a design that does not fall off, intended to improve hygiene and keep up with active babies.
To back the product with substance, Softcare introduced the Allround Scientific Parenting Academy, a year‑long educational programme that provides mothers with practical childcare guidance. Medical experts, including Dr. Leslie Issah Adam of Ridge Hospital, welcomed the initiative, noting its potential to improve child health outcomes by strengthening parental knowledge at the source.
Softcare’s support for the Nursing and Midwifery Leaders Conference reflects a broader commitment to community health, workplace safety and regulatory compliance. By pairing product innovation with healthcare education, the company aims to ease pressure on tertiary hospitals and strengthen primary healthcare delivery nationwide.
“Allround: Easy to stretch Does Not Fall. Ghana’s Pioneer in Baby Pull‑Up Pants,” the company said, positioning itself not only as a leading hygiene manufacturer but as a genuine partner in advancing Ghana’s healthcare agenda.
Softcare’s partnership signals a growing trend of private‑sector involvement in national health initiatives, and the company plans to monitor the impact of its products and educational programmes on community health outcomes in the coming years.
