Manso Nweneso (Ash)-Ghana, July 21, GNA – The chiefs and people of Manso Nweneso in the Amansie South District, have broken grounds to begin the construction of a modern health centre for the community.
The facility, which is being funded through fund-raising and contributions from individual community members, is expected to be completed in six months.
It would have male and female wards, labour ward, dressing and injection rooms, changing rooms, washrooms, records room and consulting rooms.
The aim is to ease the burden of residents who had to travel long distances to access healthcare at exorbitant costs.
Mr George Duku Acheampong, Assembly man for Nweneso Mpatasie Electoral Area, speaking at the ceremony, said the completion of the project would help improve healthcare delivery in the community and its surrounding areas.
