The Nkwanta South Municipal Assembly has commenced the implementation of newly awarded development projects aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and enhancing access to essential social services across the municipality.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Joseph Awal Antwi, accompanied by the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Mahama Musah, led the sod-cutting ceremonies for the projects at Kojo Heneba and Ofusu on Day One of the exercise.
The projects involve the construction and furnishing of two (2) Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds, each with residential accommodation for health personnel.
The initiative is expected to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve access to essential medical services for residents in the beneficiary communities and their surrounding areas. The provision of residential accommodation is also expected to encourage the availability of health personnel within these communities, thereby facilitating timely access to healthcare.
As part of his activities, the MCE also paid a working visit to the contractor handling the Nkwanta-Dambai Road project. During the visit, he engaged the contractor on concerns relating to sections of the road passing through some communities and discussed issues requiring attention to ensure the smooth execution of the project.
Hon. Joseph Awal Antwi also commended the contractor for the work undertaken so far and encouraged the team to maintain its commitment to delivering quality work.
The engagements form part of the Municipal Assembly's continued efforts to monitor development projects, address concerns affecting communities and ensure that ongoing infrastructure interventions deliver the intended benefits to residents.
The sod-cutting ceremonies and the MCE's inspection visit underscore the Assembly's commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure, supporting road development and advancing the overall socio-economic development of Nkwanta South.
