Chiefs and elders of Sheda expressed heartfelt gratitude to both the MP and the DCE for responding to their long-standing appeal for a health facility. Community members noted that the CHPS Compound will help reduce maternal and infant mortality while improving overall health outcomes in the area.

Residents described the project as timely and impactful and pledged to safeguard the facility to ensure its long-term sustainability.

The commissioning of the Sheda CHPS Compound marks yet another milestone in efforts to expand social infrastructure in Sefwi Akontombra, reinforcing leadership’s commitment to grassroots development and improved quality of life for all.
