Natives of Abamkrom Cut Sod for the Construction of Gh¢300,000 Nurses Bungalow

The indigenes of Abamkrom in the Gomoa West District of the Central Region have cut Sod for the construction of a c300,000 Nurses bungalow for an abandoned Health Centre built for the community by the late John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills.

The health facility has been rejected for some time due to the absence of a structure to house health workers and in light of this, Inhabitants have since had to battle with accessing quality health service and have depended on neighbouring communities like Breman Asikuma, Eshiem and the like whenever any of the Inhabitants is sick.

This, they indicated has resulted in avoidable death cases of the Inhabitants most especially, women in labour.

Luckily, natives of Abamkrom who are outside the country with supports of communal labour from townsmen are putting up a three thousand Nurses flat to accommodate health staff that would want to stay at the village and work.

The Chief of Abamkrom, Nana Egyina Abam V, after a libation to the gods and the ancestors during Sod cutting, accused past and present government officials in the Gomoa West District of not doing much to address health and road network challenges facing people in his community.

The Assemblyman for the area, Jerry Philip Arthur, expressed gratitude to both the financiers of the project and the community. He, however, appealed to the government to help complete the project so as to help curb the rate at which the absence of a health centre in the area has contributed to avoidable death cases.

Some of the women in the area could not hide their joy in the day's event revealing that they go through a lot of challenges during labour and the project is a life-transforming one as far as mothers are concerned.
