The Interior Minister, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Asawase, has, within six months, ensured the construction and commissioning of a polyclinic for the people of Ayigya Zongo, a deprived community in the Oforikrom Municipality.
Interior Minister, Mohammed Muntaka, has commissioned a polyclinic in Ayigya Zongo, a deprived community in the Oforikrom Municipality, within six months. The community has been suffering from a lack of healthcare facilities due to their rapid population growth and the need to travel long distances for medical treatment. The project was funded and supported by the Quarter Charity Foundation.
Muntaka, who represents the Asawase constituency, emphasized his commitment to addressing the healthcare needs of his childhood community within Oforikrom, which he described as a priority development for Oforikrom. The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Oforikrom, Ahmed Anwel Sadat, acknowledged the longstanding issue of healthcare challenges in the Zongo communities, which have been neglected by previous governments favoring other parts of the municipality.
He expressed gratitude to Muntaka for prioritizing the development of the polyclinic for the Zongo communities. Muntaka assured the community of more developmental projects from the President Mahama administration. The MCE also promised to ensure regular maintenance of the facility to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. The Municipal Health Directorate encouraged residents to utilize the newly commissioned polyclinic for medical attention and emphasized the importance of avoiding self-medication.
