Throwback Thursday :Hon Joseph Kwame Kumah makes an intervention in Primary Healthcare for Constituents

As part of his social intervention policy to ensure his people have access to quality healthcare, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kintampo North Constituency in the Bono East Region; Hon Joseph Kwame Kumah  made a big intervention in primary healthcare with a provision of ultramodern health facility for the people of Kunsu Community.

With the commissioning of the healthcare Centre with its auxiliary facility in the hard-to-reach Kunsu community within the Constituency, there seems to be a sigh of relief for the residents.

Before the Commissioning of the Health facility, access to primary healthcare in the hard-to-reach Kunsu community was no mere joke.

The facility would provide effective and efficient health delivery, especially in reducing maternal difficulties among rural folks.

Even though Kunsu Health Center is the only health facility that serves over 10,000 residents of Kunsu and its surrounding communities.

Maternal services had been a major challenge for women who access the facility due lack of a dedicated maternity ward.

For this reason, the former MP for Kintampo North, Mr. Kwesi Etu-Bonde out of his share of the NHIA funds initiated the construction of the maternity block for effective services which the current MP, Hon  Joseph Kwame Kumah who doubled as the sitting member of parliament ensured its completion.

At a durbar of Chiefs and people of Kunsu  officially handed over the facility to the Ghana Health Services (GHS). The MP, Hon Joseph Kwame Kumah commended his predecessor for the initiative and called on the government to ensure the continuity of legacy projects for the benefit of the citizens.

The Kintampo North Municipal Director of Health, Dr. Collins Danquah, expressed gratitude to the MP and his predecessor for the project as it would increase access to quality healthcare in the Municipality.

However, he called for more support to furnish the facility with equipment and working staff.

The Chief of Kunsu Traditional area, Osahene Kwaku Korateng II, and the MCE for Kintampo north, Mr. Isaac Baffoe Ameyaw, called for a culture of maintenance.

The MP also donated a Motorbike to the Municipal Police Command to help in combating crime.
