Offinso South MP Commissions a One-Story Building Maternity Ward for Offinso Health Centre Aimed at Boosting Health Delivery

The Member of Parliament for Offinso South Constituency, Hon Dr Isaac Yaw Opoku has commissioned a one-story maternity building for Offinso Health Centre to improve maternal delivery in the facility.

During an interview, Dr Yaw Opoku said that what motivated him to initiate this project for the facility was when he once encountered a situation where a pregnant woman was not receiving the needed treatment due to the poor nature of the wards the facility lacks.

He continues that, after that encounter, he made a promise to build the facility a new maternity ward that would support the centre to improve its delivery of services, especially with maternal delivery.

“Aside from the commissioned, I have provided the new facility with beds, theatre lamps, maternity equipment for delivery, office chairs and tables and many others including a cash donation of Gh10,000 for the purchase of televisions”, he stated.

The Member of Parliament for Offinso South Constituency emphasised that all these initiatives are to ensure that the facility is upgraded to a polyclinic to render other services to the good people of Offinso South.

Dr Isaac Yaw Opoku urged the staff of the facility to maintain the newly built ward well and ensure all equipment donated to them is kept well for future purposes.

The Offinso South Municipal Health Director, Mrs Audrey Mirian Nti, expressed their profound gratitude to the MP for this project given to the facility as it would support them a lot in terms of maternal delivery.

She further added that the facility is still faced with many challenges, which include a shortage of children’s wards, female wards, and a place for Ear and Throat nurses to operate since all these would help the facility deliver quality services to its patients.

Mrs Audrey Mirian Nti called on philanthropists, organisations, and individuals to come to the support of the health centre and assist them as there is an ongoing project by the facility that has been left abandoned.
