Nambro and Bahyirenwere communities in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region have rented a private house to serve as a temporary Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound to improve healthcare delivery.
The absence of a proper health facility and essential equipment in the area is hindering residents from accessing timely healthcare. This situation has compelled the Assemblyman and traditional leaders to rent a private house, which now serves as a temporary CHPS compound to provide basic healthcare services for the community.
In an interview with the chiefs of the two communities, Nambro and Bahyirenwere, Nana Kofi Nuako V and Nana Kwadwo Ngoah II, they revealed that residents often have to travel long distances to access healthcare services.
According to them, the elderly and pregnant women endure severe hardship before reaching health facilities. This challenge prompted the authorities to establish the temporary CHPS compound.
On his part, the Assemblyman for the area, Frank Addae, appealed to government to equip the newly established facility with adequate equipment, drugs, and other logistics to ensure effective service delivery, while the community awaits a permanent CHPS compound.
