The absence of this facility at the area over the years put the people through a lot of difficulties with health delivery and compelled them to travel long distances to other communities to access healthcare.

The facility when completed will comprise of male and female wards, Out Patient Department (OPD), two bedroom that will accommodate the health workers, kitchen, washrooms and two store rooms.

Speaking at the sod cutting ceremony to commence the project, the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Eric Kwaku Kusi said the fundamental objective of CHPS compound is to make quality health care accessible to the people especially those in the deprived communities thus saving people from unnecessary death.

He assured that budgetary allocations through the DACF had already been made to help ensure immediate beginning and early completion of the project.

The Assemblyman for the electoral area, Hon Peter Dwumoh and other opinion leaders witnessed the event.
