Health

For the purposes of health administration, the district is divided into four sub-districts, which included Jantong, Kpalbe, Bunjai and Kpansheigu sub-districts.

The district has only one functional health centre and five Community Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) such as Kpalbe, Fuu, Kpansheigu, Bunjai, Jantong and Kpinchila respectively. They are delivering both clinical and public health services in the entire district of 86 communities. This is a clear indication that much more health facilities are required to be set up to addressing the huge deficit in the district

There district is without a hospital. However, efforts are under way to have the Kpalbe Health Centre upgraded into a district hospital in the near future.
