Mahama inspects CHPS compound at Nsuapimkrom to improve healthcare access

President John Dramani Mahama visited the ongoing construction of a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound and nurses' quarters in Nsuapimkrom, Tano North Municipality, Ahafo Region. The new facility aims to enhance healthcare accessibility for residents who have faced challenges reaching nearby health centres due to challenging road conditions and distance to existing facilities.

The President's visit was part of his two-day tour focusing on the Ahafo Region. Local residents shared that they often had to travel on motorbikes through poor roads to Bomaa or Duayaw Nkwanta for medical attention, with the situation sometimes exacerbating patients' conditions, resulting in some losing their lives before receiving necessary treatment.

Assembly Member Eric Acheampong highlighted that the predominantly farming community had lacked adequate healthcare infrastructure under previous administrations. He emphasized the CHPS compound and nurses' quarters as a significant relief for the community, expressing gratitude to President Mahama, the Ahafo Regional Minister, and Tano North Municipal Chief Executive for addressing their concerns.

Acheampong hoped the facility would reduce the burden of long-distance travel for healthcare and improve health outcomes in the area.
