Completed Teshie CHPS Compound Abandoned; New One Constructed Nearby

By Justice Dzido On Feb 1, 2018

The Ledzokuku Krowor Municipal Assembly has begun construction of a new CHPS compound at Nungua after abandoning a completed one nearby at Teshie Camp 2 non-operational for more than 12 months.

The Teshie camp 2 facility was completed in 2016, however, it has not been put to use by the Assembly, leaving residents with no option than to seek medical attention at alternative facilities.

Citi News gathered that the facility, worth GH¢320,000, had been abandoned due to delay in the procurement of medical equipment for the use of health professionals.

Although budget had been drawn for the procurement of the equipment some six months ago, funds seem not to have been raised to purchase them.

However, the Assembly found funds from other sources to construct the new facility which is almost complete.
