Baare’s Chief, Naab Nyaakora Mantii, has expressed discontentment with what he views as an unjust treatment of pregnant women in Baare. Apexnewsgh.com report
In an interview with Apexnewsgh, Naab Nyaakora Mantii raised concerns about a situation where approximately 55 acres of land were allocated to the government for the construction of a district hospital. Despite this development, he highlighted an issue regarding the welfare of pregnant women in Baare. He pointed out that although Baare already has a maternity block, a theater, and a theater ward, pregnant women from Baare still have to travel to the health center in Tongo to obtain their medical records and undergo laboratory tests.
Naab Nyaakora Mantii further elaborated on the challenges faced by pregnant women due to the significant distance they must traverse, referring to it as a burdensome punishment for the local community. When a pregnant woman goes into labor, they are required to embark on a considerable journey from Baare to Tongo to retrieve their medical records and subsequently return to Baare. This inconvenience becomes even more apparent when considering that not all individuals have access to transportation. Consequently, pregnant women who lack mobility are compelled to make round trips for their laboratory tests, collecting the results, and bringing them back to Baare.
Recognizing this predicament, Naab Nyaakora Mantii strongly recommended that the authorities address and resolve this issue promptly, as it poses a significant challenge for the community.
Naab Nyaakora Mantii highlighted the significant efforts he had undertaken in response to the challenge. He had previously approached the Talensi district health director with regards to the issue, who acknowledged that there was a lack of infrastructure in Baare. However, the director assured that if appropriate structures were in place, they could rectify the situation and ensure that the health cards of Baare women were accessible at the healthcare facility.
Emphasizing the urgent need to address the distressing conditions faced by the pregnant women in his community, Naab Nyaakora Mantii requested assistance in improving the infrastructure in the area. He believed that providing the necessary infrastructure would be a crucial step towards resolving the current predicament.
