Techiman North MP fulfills promise with new CHPS Compound in Kokoago
The people of Kokoago, a farming community in the Techiman North District of the Bono East Region, are breathing a collective sigh of relief following the commissioning and handing over of a fully furnished CHPS Compound, ending years of struggle for access to basic healthcare.
The residents of Kokoago, a farming community in Techiman North District, Bono East Region, are relieved after receiving a new CHPS Compound, fulfilling a long-standing promise. For years, the community had no healthcare facility, forcing residents, especially pregnant women, to travel long distances to Wenchi or Techiman, facing dangerous roads.
Assemblyman Abu Mark shared the tragic experiences of pregnant women who either lost their lives or had to give birth during perilous journeys. Assemblyman Adom Johnson informed that in 2024, the community's traditional leaders (Nananom) asked their Member of Parliament, Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare, for a healthcare facility nearby. Less than two years later, the MP handed over a fully furnished CHPS Compound with a mechanized water system and a new motorcycle for the staff.
The Bono East Regional Minister, Francis Owusu Antwi, advised the health personnel to treat the facility as their own and emphasized the importance of proper maintenance for its long-term service. The community welcomed the facility with traditional drumming and dancing, expressing their gratitude to the MP and the government.
