Mr. Simon Kweku Tetteh, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Lower Manya Krobo, has initiated the commencement of a significant project by cutting the sod for the construction of a modern Community Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound in Tsledorm.
The project, aimed at providing high-quality health services to the Tsledorm community, has received funding from Japan's Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects. This initiative is particularly crucial as the community has been grappling with a lack of access to essential health services.
Expressing his appreciation, Mr. Tetteh, who also serves as the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for the area, thanked the Japanese Embassy in Ghana for their assistance. He highlighted the extensive efforts that led to the approval and award of the contract, emphasizing the significance of international partnerships in addressing local challenges.
Highlighting the significance of the project, Mr. Tetteh noted that this CHPS compound marks the fourth to be established within the span of seven years. It joins existing facilities in Yokwenor, Gyerkiti, and Wawase, further enhancing healthcare accessibility in the region.
Mr. Simon Kweku Tetteh reassured the community of his commitment to overseeing the project's progress closely. He pledged to conduct regular site visits to ensure that construction proceeds according to schedule. With a timeline of seven months for completion, he emphasized the importance of timely execution to fulfil the community's urgent healthcare needs.
Acknowledging the long-standing demand for improved healthcare services in the area, Nene Bediako Baah Muala III, the Divisional Chief for Dorm, expressed gratitude to Mr. Tetteh for championing the project. He described the initiative as a significant milestone for the community, addressing one of its most pressing needs.
The construction of the CHPS compound represents a tangible step towards addressing healthcare disparities and improving the overall well-being of the Tsledorm community. Through collaborative efforts and strategic partnerships, local leaders are working towards ensuring equitable access to essential health services for all residents.
