Krachi East municipal assembly commissions operation theater and recovery ward for Dambai Health center

The Krachi East municipal assembly with the support of Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions social Cohesion (SOCO) has commissioned an ultra modern operating theater and a recovery ward to help improve on healthcare delivery in the Krachi East municipality.

The commissioning of the facility which cost Gh 346,104 to construct has brought great relief to both Staff and patients of the health center.

The ceremony which took place on November 6, 2024 was chaired by Krachi East municipal Chief Executive. Hon . Charles Gyamfi Boateng.

Addressing the public, the MCE expressed gratitude over the transformation that Krachi East is getting under the Akkuffo Addo led government and necessary documentation are under way to transform the current health center status to a municipal hospital.

Dr. Mavis Marfo, medical Supretendent of Dambai health center recounted how women in the community had to travel to Worawora, Krachi and Nkwanta for referrals.

Hitherto, the facility had been working without a functional operating theater which led to limitations in providing some essential health care, especially in the surgical discipline and more importantly with maternal care.

Due to situations where major and minor general surgical cases were not attended to which led to lost of patients confidence in it’s health care delivery capabilities.

Speaking at the ceremony, the municipal health director Dr. Amin Abdul Mutalib thanked the leadership of SOCO and stakeholders for their immense support in making the theater project a reality and thus bringing hope to patients especially pregnant women.

The chief of Dambai Nana Kwaku Beyornor thanked the MCE and Hon. Michael Yaw Gyato for fighting and making this dream a reality and asked the leadership of the facility to always call on him for all necessary assistance.

He asked the people of Dambai to replicate the warm gesture by voting massively for the NPP.
