Africa-Press – Ghana. Mr. William Kofi Adzowu, the Municipal Chief Executive for Obuasi East, has cut the sod for the commencement of the construction of a Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound with nurses’ quarters at Ayease.
The project, which seeks to improve access to quality healthcare delivery in the area, is being funded through the District Assemblies’ Common Fund.
It comprises a fully furnished CHPS compound, a two-bedroom semi-detached nurses’ quarters, and a mechanised borehole fitted with two 500-litre polytanks mounted on concrete stands, among other essential facilities.
Addressing the chiefs and people of Ayease, Mr. Adzowu noted that the lack of a nearby health facility had, in the past, contributed to the loss of lives, as residents were often forced to travel long distances to access medical care.
He stressed that the government places high priority on the wellbeing of citizens and remained committed to ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare across the country.
The MCE assured residents of his firm commitment to ensure that the project was completed on schedule, commissioned, and officially handed over by June 2026.
Mr. Adzowu further disclosed that the project site had been strategically selected to allow for future expansion into a full clinic and, eventually, a hospital, should the need arise.
He, therefore appealed to the community to fully cooperate with the contractor to ensure smooth and timely execution of the project.
Nana Oduro Gyekye, the Odikro of Ayease, commended the MCE for what he described as an impressive performance since assuming office.
He also urged the contractor to engage local artisans, particularly masons, carpenters, and labourers to create employment opportunities for the youth in the community.
Additionally, Nana Oduro Gyekye appealed to the MCE to give urgent attention to improving the road network within the municipality, especially the Abusco Junction–Ayease stretch.
