The Chief of Akrodie Ahantamo, Nana Ofori Gyamfi II, has made an appeal to the government and the Asunafo North Municipal Assembly to establish a Community Health and Planning Services (CHPS) compound in his community. He made this appeal during the celebration of his first anniversary on the throne. The chief highlighted the difficulties faced by residents in accessing basic healthcare services due to the absence of a health facility in the area.
Residents of Akrodie Ahantamo are currently forced to travel long distances to Akrodie to access basic healthcare services. This has resulted in many relying on pragia or taxis to seek medical attention, a situation the chief described as worrying, particularly for those requiring urgent healthcare. The chief's appeal is for immediate intervention to address this challenge.
Nana Ofori Gyamfi II specifically urged the Asunafo North Municipal Assembly and the Member of Parliament for the area, Haruna Mohammed, to work towards providing a CHPS compound. This, he believes, will bring healthcare services closer to the people, thereby improving the overall health and wellbeing of the community.
The Queen Mother of Akrodie Ahantamo, Nana Tiwaa Nyarko II, also made an appeal for the construction of a market in the community. She highlighted the challenges faced by traders, particularly women, due to the lack of a designated market. The queen mother believes that the provision of a market would improve trading activities and contribute to the growth of the local economy.
The lack of a market and a health facility in Akrodie Ahantamo has resulted in significant challenges for residents. The community is in need of essential infrastructure to support the growth and development of the area. The appeals made by the chief and the queen mother are aimed at addressing these challenges.
The Asunafo North Municipal Assembly and the Member of Parliament for the area have been urged to take immediate action to address the challenges faced by the community. The establishment of a CHPS compound and the construction of a market are seen as essential steps towards improving the lives of residents in Akrodie Ahantamo.
The appeals made by Nana Ofori Gyamfi II and Nana Tiwaa Nyarko II are a call to action for stakeholders to support the development of Akrodie Ahantamo. The community is hopeful that their appeals will be heard, and that essential infrastructure will be provided to support the growth and development of the area.
