A GH¢35,000 Health facility has been constructed for the people of Amenam near Afosu in the Eastern Region. The project was funded by a citizen of the town, Kwaku Agyekum, who is an Accra-based businessman.
The Birim Noth District Co-ordinating Director, John Owu, who inaugurated the facility commended Mr. Agyekum for his sense of patriotism. He said, the best complement the people can pay to him is to utilize the facility to enhance their health status.
Mr. Owu urged staff who have been posted to man the facility to show commitment and dedication to their work by visiting the communities in order to establish friendly relations and educate them on health related issues like HIV/AIDS, regenerative health, environment hygiene among others.
The Assembly, he disclosed has supplied wooden electric poles to facilitate power supply to the compound. Mr. Owu said, the assembly, in collaboration with its development partner, the European Union(EU), has completed the construction of a GH¢45 CHPS compound at Nyafoman, which would soon be handed over to the health administration.
The District Director of Health Services, Tei Djangmah, described the CHPS concept as one of the best strategies being implemented by the Ghana Health Service to send quality services to the doorsteps of the people.
He advised nurses in the district to closely monitor pregnant women to ensure that they attend antenatal clinics to forestall any complications during delivery. He also mentioned in particular lack of vehicle which is hampering the propagation of the programme.
The Akyem Asenehemaa, Nana Afua Kissiwah, who chaired the function, advised pregnant women to refrain from patronizing prayer camps but rather attend health facilities for proper medical care to avoid pregnancy-related complications.
