The Kwabre East Municipal on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, commissioned a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound and two classroom blocks at Kasaam under the sponsorship of the Social Investment Fund (SIF) and Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund).

The former Kwabre East Member of Parliament, Honorable Kofi Frimpong who is the SIF boss contributed to the completion of the Methodist Classroom block per their mission to foster the implementation of economic, financial and social interventions to reduce rural and urban poverty that will enhance Ghana’s development agenda.

The CHPS compound designed to deliver essential community-based health services according to the Municipal Chief Executive, Honorable Osei Assibey Bonsu will focus on bringing health services close to the people of Kasaam community.

He asserted that the facility has been equipped and furnished like a clinic which will soon have nurses to take care of patients in the community. He assured that the Kwabre East Municipal is putting measures in place to get accreditation for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to operate for the patients’ advantage.

“The CHPS compound has been equipped like a clinic to serve the people. The SIF and GETFund projects have been beneficial to deprived communities and with this, patients don’t need to be stressed since nurses will soon start work to take care of them. What we require is to get accreditation for the Health Insurance and we’ll almost be equal as clinics,” he added.

The MCE also assured that the Assembly will soon provide seats and electricity in the Methodist School Block financed by the Social Investment Fund for learning to start.

“We are also putting up efforts to get seats for the Methodist primary for teaching and learning to start. Good environment for our students encourage better learning and as an Assembly, it is our mandate to make good use of the GetFund, SIF, the Assembly Common Fund and other interventions to promote the societies,” he added.
