The Ghana National Gas Company has constructed a health centre and a 4-bedroom nurses’ quarters at Bomeng in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region.
The project aims to relieve the stress and problems that nursing mothers and nurses go through in the area.
The centre has consulting offices, a pharmacy, a delivery ward and the main ward, all of which have been lacking in the neighbourhood for a long time.
The CHPS Compound will benefit residents of East Sekyere, Mampong, Nsuta and the neighbouring communities which previously had to travel to the Juaben Government Hospital, Effiduase Government Hospital or the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital(KATH) for medical treatment.
Commissioning the projects, Edomgbole Nwiah Anyimah, GNGC’s Deputy Project Manager, emphasised the need to maintain the health centre and the 4-bedroom nursing quarters.
“We strongly urge that this facility be put to good use. If something goes wrong, fix it instead of waiting for something else to go wrong,” he stressed in a post on the Facebook page of Ghana Gas.
Nana Owusu Ansah, a board member of Ghana Gas, spearheaded the effort to build the Bomeng CHPS Compound and promised that many more would follow.
On his part, Samuel Addae Agyekum, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), praised Ghana Gas for the project and promised the company they would demonstrate a culture of maintenance.
