The Headmaster of Nkawkaw Senior High School, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed, has appealed for urgent support to complete a sickbay project to address the growing health needs of students.
With a student population of over 3,000, the school currently lacks a dedicated healthcare facility.
As a result, the administration has had to convert the school’s science laboratory into a temporary sickbay, a situation the headmaster says is far from ideal.
Speaking to Adom News following a donation of medicines worth GHC 50,000 by the 1992 year group, Alhaji Mohammed expressed concern about the impact of the lack of a sickbay on students’ well-being and academic performance.
He revealed that while one of the old student groups had initiated the foundation of the facility, more support was needed from the government, philanthropists, and other alumni to see the project through to completion.
During the donation ceremony, Edward Asante, chairman of the 1992 year group, highlighted the importance of the medicines in addressing the school’s immediate health challenges.
He also encouraged students to take their studies seriously in order to achieve success in the future.
