Kadjebi MP, DCE commission CHPs compound at Menuso to expand healthcare delivery

The Member of Parliament for the Akan Constituency, Engr. Yao Gomado, and District Chief Executive, Dr. Sam Suraj Issaka, have unveiled a recently constructed Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound in Menuso, a farming community in the Kadjebi District. The new facility is designed to enhance access to primary healthcare services for residents in Menuso and surrounding areas, aligning with broader initiatives to decentralize development and bolster essential service delivery in deprived regions.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Dr. Issaka reaffirmed the District Assembly's dedication to promoting holistic development across Kadjebi, highlighting the Assembly's ongoing investments in education, health, sanitation, and water sectors. He also revealed that the Menuso CHPS compound had remained idle since 2018 but has now been completed and made available for public use.

Engr. Gomado emphasized the significance of decentralization in ensuring deprived communities reap the benefits of government investments, noting that the new system is facilitating the distribution of resources to those most in need. The Kadjebi District Health Director, Eric Nana Takyi, expressed his enthusiasm for the facility's completion, stating that it will alleviate pressure on existing healthcare facilities and contribute to improving healthcare delivery in Menuso and neighboring communities.

He, however, appealed for additional support to tackle issues surrounding healthcare delivery in the district, including the scarcity of health personnel and residential accommodations for staff. The Assembly Member for Menuso, Emmanuel Kutol Makijah, praised the DCE and other stakeholders for bringing healthcare services closer to the community, assuring that residents would take good care of the facility and support its sustainability.
