A Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound built in 2016 for the residents of Asibrem, a farming community in the Asunafo South District in the Ahafo region has been left unused for the past four years.
The residents, despite having a health facility in the community, now have to be transported several kilometres on either a motorcycle or a cargo tricycle – abobooyaa – to Odumasi in the Ashanti region to access healthcare.
Adom News’ Sulley Dramani, who visited Asibrem, following several complaints by the indigenes, saw the health facility locked and situated in a bush.
Residents of Asibrem are, therefore, appealing to the government to put to use the CHPS Compound.
