Workers at the Asumura Health Centre in the Asunafo North Municipality of the Ahafo Region have raised concerns over the deteriorating state of key facilities, warning that the situation is affecting quality healthcare delivery.
They are calling on the government to intervene urgently.
The In-Charge and Physician Assistant of the health centre, Duah Joseph, revealed that the weighing centre and Out-Patient Department (OPD) are in a severe state of disrepair, posing a serious risk to both staff and patients, especially as the rainy season approaches.
He explained that due to the aging nature of these structures, essential materials such as wood, roofing, and blocks have significantly weakened.
Without urgent renovations or the construction of new facilities, he warned that the situation could have disastrous consequences.
Additionally, he highlighted the lack of staff accommodation, which has made it difficult for healthcare workers to secure housing, further affecting service delivery.
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of Tim Africa Aid Ghana, Isaac Kwabena Kakpeibe, who recently commissioned a new washroom for the centre, has appealed to local chiefs and residents to support efforts to improve the facility.
He also urged the community to take good care of infrastructure provided by NGOs to encourage further assistance.
