The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has assured residents of the government’s commitment to completing abandoned CHPs compound and health facilities in the region to improve healthcare delivery.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Amoakohene emphasized the administration’s renewed focus on primary healthcare infrastructure.
Amoakohene highlighted the importance of preventive healthcare and the need to empower communities with essential information and basic first-aid skills.
“For the health care delivery, we will start from the basic, the primary health care, in his Mahama’s previous tenure first term, we spent a lot on Community Health-Based Planning Services compound (CHPS) and health centers. Some were abandoned so the focus is that we complete most of them and make them available,” said Dr. Amoakohene.
“The preventive aspect of health is one area you cannot do away with. So our public health department needs to be on the field and empower the people with information and first aid”.
