Akrodie Ahantamo chief appeals for CHPS compound to improve healthcare

Nana Ofori Gyamfi II, the Chief of Akrodie Ahantamo in the Ahafo Region, has urged the government and the Asunafo North Municipal Assembly to build a CHPS compound in his community. The absence of a healthcare facility, he explained, forces residents to undertake long journeys to Akrodie for basic medical services. Speaking to Adom News, the chief during his first anniversary celebration, lamented the residents' dependence on pragia or taxis to seek medical help in Akrodie, describing the situation as alarming, especially for those in need of urgent care.

He appealed to the municipal assembly and the Member of Parliament for the region, Haruna Mohammed, to expedite plans for a CHPS compound to bring healthcare services closer to the people.

Nana Tiwaa Nyarko II, the Queen Mother of Akrodie Ahantamo, has also called for the establishment of a market in the community. She noted that traders, particularly women, encounter numerous difficulties owing to the lack of a designated market. Nana Tiwaa Nyarko II is confident that providing a market would enhance trading activities and stimulate the local economy.
