In a significant effort to enhance healthcare delivery in Buem-Jasikan, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Park-Davies Magyigbe, has commissioned a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound, including two nurses’ quarters, in Oseikrom, a farming community in the area.
This initiative forms part of the assembly’s ongoing commitment to improving access to quality healthcare in rural areas.
The newly established CHPS compound is equipped with essential medical facilities designed to provide comprehensive healthcare services to over 3,000 residents in Oseikrom and surrounding communities. The facility will serve as a vital resource for maternal and child health services, preventive care, and health education.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr. Magyigbe emphasized the importance of accessible healthcare in rural communities, describing the facility as a testament to the government’s dedication to improving health outcomes.
He noted that the inclusion of two staff bungalows not only supports the delivery of healthcare services but also ensures a comfortable living environment for healthcare workers, enabling them to better serve the community.
The MCE explained that the bungalows are designed to accommodate healthcare professionals, allowing them to reside on-site and respond promptly to emergencies and patient needs. This move is expected to attract and retain health personnel in the area, thereby improving the quality of care.
He also encouraged residents to take ownership of the facility to ensure it remains well-maintained and continues to serve its intended purpose.
The Municipal Health Director of Buem-Jasikan, Isaac Annoble, together with Joyce Konkani Banipo, a nurse, expressed their gratitude for the new facility. They emphasized its potential to significantly improve maternal and child health outcomes in Oseikrom and neighboring communities.
They affirmed that the commissioning of the new CHPS compound marks a major milestone in the municipality’s healthcare journey and promises a healthier future for all.
