Ernest Patrick Kodzo Mallet, District Chief Executive (DCE), South Dayi, has commissioned a Community Health- Based Planning and Services (CHPS) compound for Peki-Wudome, a farming community in the District.
The DCE said it was one of the main objectives of the Assembly to bring health care delivery closer to the people hence the facility because “a healthy nation is a prosperous nation”.
He said the facility would help ease the congestion at the Peki Government Hospital and also reduced the time patients spent at the Hospital due to overcrowding.
The DCE said based on an assessment by the District Health Management team and the Assembly, Peki-Wudome, an electoral area with a population of 2,242 and with high incidence of hypertension and malaria cases needed to have a CHPS compound for quality health services.
He said other CHPS compounds under construction, especially at Adzebui and Sanga would be completed before the end of the year “to bring the number of health facilities in the District to 20 and to ensure easy access to all”.
Mr Mallet asked the people to desist from self – medication and seek proper medical care at the compounds.
Madam Patience Nunoo, the District Director of Health Services, said the facility would help facilitate effective health services delivery to the people and was grateful to the Assembly.
She said when health facilities were close to the doorsteps of the people it would encourage them to access quality health service and shun self-medication.
