The Member of Parliament for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Constituency in the Western North Region, Alfred Obeng-Boateng, has commissioned a Community-Based Health Planning Services (CHPS) Compound for the Surano B community on Sunday, February 25th, 2024.
The project initiated by the former Member of Parliament for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai, Kingsley Aboagye Gyedu, and the late Municipal Chief Executive, Alfred Amoah, unfortunately, could not be completed before leaving office.
However, under the current MP, Alfred Obeng Boateng’s leadership, the project was successfully completed and handed over to the community.
In a concise speech, Alfred Obeng-Boateng recognized the significant contributions of his predecessor, Kingsley Aboagye Gyedu, towards realizing this initiative.
He openly commended Alfred Amoah, the late Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), for selecting Surano ‘B’ as the site for this project, stressing the importance of proximity to healthcare facilities for maintaining public health.
The MP mentioned plans for two additional CHPS Compounds at Aboabo and Adobewora No.2.
Alfred Obeng-Boateng urged residents to rally behind the ruling party by voting overwhelmingly for both the MP and the presidential candidate in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Paul Andoh, the MCE for the Municipality, echoed the sentiment that access to healthcare is not a privilege but a basic human right.
He emphasized that the CHPS Compound represents the government’s commitment to the community’s well-being under the leadership of His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo.
The MCE described the facility as more than just a structure, but a symbol of hope, healing, and progress.
He also mentioned provisions in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipal Assembly’s 2024 Annual budget to supply delivery sets and beds for selected CHPS Compounds, including Surano.
Oheneba Oppong Darko, the Municipal Health Director, highlighted the government’s aim to raise citizens’ access to healthcare facilities to 80% by 2030.
He noted the construction of five similar facilities in the Municipality, strategically placed in Surano B, Debiso, Ntakam, Akaasu, and Akaaso.
Mr. Oppong Darko stressed that community support is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
Nana Asare Bio, the Chief of the Sefwi Surano ‘B’ commend the diligent efforts of all involved, particularly Alfred Obeng-Boateng, Kingsley Aboagye Gyedu, and the Municipal Chief Executive, for their unwavering commitment to the community’s well-being.
He said the provision of this facility not only enhances our access to healthcare but also symbolizes progress and hope for a healthier future.
Nana Asare Bio stated that the community pledges their full support to ensure the success of this endeavor and reaffirm their commitment to working hand in hand with healthcare professionals and authorities.
