The Paramount Chief of the Sehwi Bekwai Traditional Area, Oyeadieyie Basape Kojo Armah III, has commissioned a modern clinic to serve residents of Sehwi Bekwai and its surrounding communities in the Western North Region.
The facility, established through a partnership with Mission 318, a U.S.-based NGO, is expected to significantly improve healthcare access and delivery in the area.
Until now, the community relied on a dilapidated facility with an overcrowded outpatient department and limited medical equipment. These challenges often led to critical cases being referred to Sehwi Bibiani, resulting in dangerous delays, especially for pregnant women in labour.
Motivated by the pressing healthcare needs of his people, the paramount chief spearheaded efforts to secure a proper facility. The new clinic is fully equipped with essential medical units, beds, and infrastructure to provide quality care.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Oyeadieyie Basape Kojo Armah III reaffirmed his commitment to improving the well-being of his people. He urged health workers and residents to make good use of the facility and ensure its proper maintenance.
The Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipal Health Director, Oheneba Oppong Darko, commended the chief for his leadership and timely intervention. He said the new facility would help ease pressure on other health centres in the municipality and raise the overall standard of healthcare.
Community members present at the event expressed deep gratitude to the chief and his partners, describing the clinic as a long-awaited relief and a significant milestone in the town’s development.
