The Municipal Chief Executive for Suhum, Lydia Ohenewa, has announced that the Assembly will soon commission a number of Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds to improve access to healthcare across the municipality.
She made this known during the commissioning of the Children’s Medical and Wellness Centre at the Suhum Government Hospital on Saturday, March 21, where she highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen primary healthcare delivery and bring services closer to residents.
The MCE indicated that the CHPS compounds, located at Asarekrom, Akorabo, Abenabo, and Kwamena Kumi, form part of broader initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure in the municipality.
She explained that the move aligns with government’s commitment to prioritising healthcare development under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.
Lydia Ohenewa further noted that the Assembly will continue to utilise the District Assembly Common Fund to undertake additional health-related projects to enhance access to care.
She also called on development partners, corporate institutions, and other stakeholders to collaborate with the Assembly in achieving universal health coverage and improving the wellbeing of residents.
