The Church of Pentecost has commissioned a newly built, fully equipped health clinic in Yawmatwa, a community in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
The facility, beyond serving the people of Yawmatwa, is also expected to cater to surrounding communities, including portions of neighboring Ivory Coast, due to its strategic location along the border.
Built as part of the Church’s social services initiative, the clinic aligns with its Vision 2028 agenda — a long-term plan to transform lives and communities through both spiritual impact and practical, infrastructural development.
At the official commissioning, Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, Area Head for Essam-Debiso, underscored the critical need for such an intervention in remote areas where healthcare access remains a challenge.
“This is a practical demonstration of our ministry philosophy — meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of the people. We believe this clinic will be a life-saving asset for the community,” he said.
The clinic boasts a consultation unit, a fully functional maternity ward, a pharmacy, and in-patient wards, all set to operate in collaboration with the Ghana Health Service to ensure proper staffing and long-term sustainability.
The project was welcomed with gratitude by residents, traditional leaders, and health professionals. Nana Yaw Berima Donkor, Kontihene of Sehwi Yawmatwa, speaking on behalf of the chief and the entire community, lauded the Church of Pentecost for its commitment to national development and for delivering a facility that will undoubtedly save lives.
With this new facility, the Church continues to reinforce its dedication to holistic ministry — going beyond church walls to uplift communities physically, socially, and spiritually.
